Auction result well in line with expectations
In May 2021 Bonhams in New York held the auction American Art, which included the work Yawl in the Channel by Fairfield Porter. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 700,000.00 – 1,000,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 725,312.50 (€ 594,810.97) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Fairfield Porter - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Schooner II, which sold at auction in May 2018 for USD 1,932,500.00 (€ 1,655,955.44).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Mai 2021 führte Bonhams in New York die Auktion American Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Yawl in the Channel von Fairfield Porter zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 700.000,00 – 1.000.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 725.312,50 (€ 594.810,97) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Fairfield Porter mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The Schooner II beobachtet, die im Mai 2018 für USD 1.932.500,00 (€ 1.655.955,44) versteigert wurde.
