Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In September 2014 Christies in New York held the auction American Furniture, Outsider and Folk Art, which included the work Portrait of a Gentleman, possibly Judge John Berrien by Charles Willson Peale. Here, the upper estimate of USD 50,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for USD 52,500.00 (€ 41,574.28). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Charles Willson Peale achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work George Washington at Princeton in January 2006 with an auction result of USD 21,296,000.00 (€ 17,516,038.82).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im September 2014 führte Christies in New York die Auktion American Furniture, Outsider and Folk Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Portrait of a Gentleman, possibly Judge John Berrien von Charles Willson Peale zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von USD 50.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für USD 52.500,00 (€ 41.574,28) einen neuen Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Charles Willson Peale erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit George Washington at Princeton im Januar 2006 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 21.296.000,00 (€ 17.516.038,82).
