Auction result well in line with expectations
In May 2016 Christies in New York held the auction American Art, which included the work Summer, Montclair by George Inness. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 250,000.00 – 350,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 269,000.00 (€ 241,580.60) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Admittedly, works by George Inness have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Sunset on the River in May 2008 with an auction result of USD 1,945,000.00 (€ 1,250,000.00).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Mai 2016 führte Christies in New York die Auktion American Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Summer, Montclair von George Inness zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 250.000,00 – 350.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 269.000,00 (€ 241.580,60) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von George Inness auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Sunset on the River im Mai 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 1.945.000,00 (€ 1.250.000,00).
