A top price for Sargent Johnson - as previously expected
In May 2021 Bonhams in New York held the auction American Art, which included the work Hippopotamus by Sargent Johnson. The price achieved of USD 19,062.50 (€ 15,632.69) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 15,000.00 – 25,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Hippopotamus is the most expensive artwork by Sargent Johnson that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Im Mai 2021 führte Bonhams in New York die Auktion American Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Hippopotamus von Sargent Johnson zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 19.062,50 (€ 15.632,69) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 15.000,00 – 25.000,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Hippopotamus das teuerste Kunstwerk von Sargent Johnson, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
