Auction result misses estimated price range
In January 2008 a collector was able to acquire the work Portrait of a Gentleman with Snake Cane by Ammi Phillips for USD 18,750.00 (€ 12,633.92). This price was achieved in the auction Important American Furniture, Folk Art, Prints And Decoys at Christies in New York and was even below the estimate range of USD 30,000.00 – 50,000.00 set by the auction house. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Ammi Phillips achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Portrait of a Young Girl and her Cat in January 2007 with an auction result of USD 1,248,000.00 (€ 960,147.72).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im Januar 2008 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit Portrait of a Gentleman with Snake Cane von Ammi Phillips für USD 18.750,00 (€ 12.633,92) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion Important American Furniture, Folk Art, Prints And Decoys bei Christies in New York erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von USD 30.000,00 – 50.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Ammi Phillips erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Portrait of a Young Girl and her Cat im Januar 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 1.248.000,00 (€ 960.147,72).
