Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Walt Kuhn could be acquired at Christies in New York in November 2018 for an unexpectedly low price. In the An American Place | The Barney A. Ebsworth Collection Evening Sale auction, the work Bareback Rider changed hands for USD 396,500.00 (€ 350,172.22) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 500,000.00 – 700,000.00. Admittedly, works by Walt Kuhn have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Chico in a Silk Hat in November 2021 with an auction result of USD 1,590,000.00 (€ 1,408,700.27).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Walt Kuhn konnte im November 2018 bei Christies in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion An American Place | The Barney A. Ebsworth Collection Evening Sale wechselte die Arbeit Bareback Rider für USD 396.500,00 (€ 350.172,22) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 500.000,00 – 700.000,00. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Walt Kuhn auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Chico in a Silk Hat im November 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 1.590.000,00 (€ 1.408.700,27).
