Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Gertrude Morgan could be acquired at Christies in New York in January 2014 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Important American Furniture, Folk Art & Decorative Arts auction, the work The Book With The Look changed hands for USD 1,250.00 (€ 925.93) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 3,000.00 – 5,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Gertrude Morgan achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Precious Lord, 1970-1975 in January 2017 with an auction result of USD 68,750.00 (€ 63,692.79).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Gertrude Morgan konnte im Januar 2014 bei Christies in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Important American Furniture, Folk Art & Decorative Arts wechselte die Arbeit The Book With The Look für USD 1.250,00 (€ 925,93) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 3.000,00 – 5.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Gertrude Morgan erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Precious Lord, 1970-1975 im Januar 2017 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 68.750,00 (€ 63.692,79).
