Artwork auctioned at 12 times the upper estimate price

When the work Colonel David Lion Gardiner (1816-1892) by Daniel Huntington was auctioned at Christies in New York in January 2005, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 1,500.00 but the actual price achieved was more than 12 times as high at USD 19,200.00 (€ 14,713.77). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Daniel Huntington - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work A Pair of Portraits: Mr. and Mrs. David Thompson, which sold at auction in January 2005 for USD 62,400.00 (€ 47,819.76).

Kunstwerk zum Zwölffachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert

Als die Arbeit Colonel David Lion Gardiner (1816-1892) von Daniel Huntington im Januar 2005 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 1.500,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 19.200,00 (€ 14.713,77) mehr als zwölfmal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Daniel Huntington mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit A Pair of Portraits: Mr. and Mrs. David Thompson beobachtet, die im Januar 2005 für USD 62.400,00 (€ 47.819,76) versteigert wurde.
