Auction result well in line with expectations
In December 2012 Christies in New York held the auction The National Geographic Collection: The Art of Exploration, which included the work Muscat, Oman, 1980 by Thomas J. Abercrombie. The price achieved of USD 3,750.00 (€ 2,843.93) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 3,000.00 – 5,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Thomas J. Abercrombie - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work A Nunamiut Boy and Mask, Alaska, c. 1958, which sold at auction in December 2012 for USD 11,250.00 (€ 8,531.78).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Dezember 2012 führte Christies in New York die Auktion The National Geographic Collection: The Art of Exploration durch, in der auch die Arbeit Muscat, Oman, 1980 von Thomas J. Abercrombie zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 3.750,00 (€ 2.843,93) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 3.000,00 – 5.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Thomas J. Abercrombie mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit A Nunamiut Boy and Mask, Alaska, c. 1958 beobachtet, die im Dezember 2012 für USD 11.250,00 (€ 8.531,78) versteigert wurde.
