Rocky Coast - a sketch
signed with conjoined initials 'AB' (lower left)

2 x 9 1⁄2 in. (5.1 x 24.1 cm.)

Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%

This artwork by Albert Bierstadt achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in May last year. In the The Private Collection of William S. Reese: Part Two auction, the work Rocky Coast - A Sketch sold for USD 10,710.00 (€ 9,980.43) - well above the upper estimate of USD 5,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Albert Bierstadt achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Indians Spear Fishing in May 2008 with an auction result of USD 7,321,000.00 (€ 4,705,012.85).

Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen

Dieses Kunstwerk von Albert Bierstadt erzielte im Mai letzten Jahres bei Christies in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion The Private Collection of William S. Reese: Part Two wurde die Arbeit Rocky Coast - A Sketch für USD 10.710,00 (€ 9.980,43) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 5.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Albert Bierstadt erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Indians Spear Fishing im Mai 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 7.321.000,00 (€ 4.705.012,85).
