A top price for Ammi Phillips
When the work Portrait of a Young Girl and her Cat by Ammi Phillips was auctioned at Christies in New York in January 2007, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 250,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at USD 1,248,000.00 (€ 960,147.72). This high result makes Portrait of a Young Girl and her Cat the most expensive artwork by Ammi Phillips that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Ammi Phillips
Als die Arbeit Portrait of a Young Girl and her Cat von Ammi Phillips im Januar 2007 bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 250.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 1.248.000,00 (€ 960.147,72) mehr als viermal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Portrait of a Young Girl and her Cat zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Ammi Phillips, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
