Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Portrait Of A Man by Samuel Finley Breese Morse was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in April 2014, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 20,000.00 – 30,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 18,750.00 (€ 13,518.39). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Samuel Finley Breese Morse - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Diana At The Fountain, which sold at auction in April 2014 for USD 43,750.00 (€ 31,542.90).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Portrait Of A Man von Samuel Finley Breese Morse im April 2014 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 20.000,00 – 30.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 18.750,00 (€ 13.518,39) den Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Samuel Finley Breese Morse mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Diana At The Fountain beobachtet, die im April 2014 für USD 43.750,00 (€ 31.542,90) versteigert wurde.
