Auction result misses estimated price range
In October 2020 a collector was able to acquire the work Roping a Wolf by Charles Marion Russell for USD 625,000.00 (€ 536,618.87). This price was achieved in the auction The Legend of the West: Iconic Works from the T. Boone Pickens Collection at Christies in New York and was even below the estimate range of USD 700,000.00 – 1,000,000.00 set by the auction house. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Charles Marion Russell - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Meat for the Tribe, which sold at auction in December 2005 for USD 1,472,000.00 (€ 1,243,033.27).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im Oktober 2020 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit Roping a Wolf von Charles Marion Russell für USD 625.000,00 (€ 536.618,87) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion The Legend of the West: Iconic Works from the T. Boone Pickens Collection bei Christies in New York erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von USD 700.000,00 – 1.000.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Charles Marion Russell mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Meat for the Tribe beobachtet, die im Dezember 2005 für USD 1.472.000,00 (€ 1.243.033,27) versteigert wurde.
