Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work The Buffalo Signal (If Skulls Could Speak) by Frederic Remington was auctioned at Christies in New York in October 2020, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 3,000,000.00 – 5,000,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 2,910,000.00 (€ 2,498,497.47). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Frederic Remington - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Coming Through the Rye, which sold at auction in May 2017 for USD 11,223,500.00 (€ 9,988,875.04).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit The Buffalo Signal (If Skulls Could Speak) von Frederic Remington im Oktober 2020 bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 3.000.000,00 – 5.000.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 2.910.000,00 (€ 2.498.497,47) den Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Frederic Remington mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Coming Through the Rye beobachtet, die im Mai 2017 für USD 11.223.500,00 (€ 9.988.875,04) versteigert wurde.
