Auction result well in line with expectations

In September 2010 Christies in New York held the auction Fine American Paintings, Drawings and Sculpture, which included the work Warbler by Roger Tory Peterson. The price achieved of USD 8,125.00 (€ 5,973.83) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 7,000.00 – 10,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Roger Tory Peterson - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work James Flamingos in the Andes, which sold at auction in September 2010 for USD 27,500.00 (€ 20,219.10).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Im September 2010 führte Christies in New York die Auktion Fine American Paintings, Drawings and Sculpture durch, in der auch die Arbeit Warbler von Roger Tory Peterson zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 8.125,00 (€ 5.973,83) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 7.000,00 – 10.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Roger Tory Peterson mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit James Flamingos in the Andes beobachtet, die im September 2010 für USD 27.500,00 (€ 20.219,10) versteigert wurde.
