Benjamin Foster (American, 1852-1926)
Desert landscape
signed 'Ben Foster.' (lower right)
oil on canvas
30 x 25 in. (76.2 x 63.5 cm.)

Auction result misses estimated price range

This work of art by Benjamin Foster could be acquired at Christies in New York in December 2008 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Christie's Interiors auction, the work Desert landscape changed hands for USD 687.50 (€ 493.93) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 1,500.00 – 2,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Benjamin Foster achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Country Road in February 2002 with an auction result of USD 5,875.00 (€ 6,785.63).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Dieses Kunstwerk von Benjamin Foster konnte im Dezember 2008 bei Christies in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Christie's Interiors wechselte die Arbeit Desert landscape für USD 687,50 (€ 493,93) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 1.500,00 – 2.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Benjamin Foster erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Country Road im Februar 2002 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 5.875,00 (€ 6.785,63).
