Auction result misses estimated price range

When the work Portrait of Marjorie Merriweather Post by James Jebusa Shannon was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in January last year, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 30,000.00 – 50,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 27,720.00 (€ 24,723.51). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by James Jebusa Shannon achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work In the Springtime in July last year with an auction result of GBP 529,200.00 (€ 631,958.79).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Als die Arbeit Portrait of Marjorie Merriweather Post von James Jebusa Shannon im Januar letzten Jahres 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 30.000,00 – 50.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 27.720,00 (€ 24.723,51) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von James Jebusa Shannon erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit In the Springtime im Juli letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 529.200,00 (€ 631.958,79).
