Artwork auctioned at six times the upper estimate price
When the work A Green-Tailed Jacamar And A Male Red-Fronted Timber Barbet by Jacques Barraband was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in January 2010, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 8,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than six times as high at USD 50,000.00 (€ 36,049.03). Admittedly, works by Jacques Barraband have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Troisième variété du perroquet cendré - The Grey Parrot - Psittacus erithacus. in June 2000 with an auction result of GBP 91,750.00 (€ 145,435.04).
Kunstwerk zum Sechsfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit A Green-Tailed Jacamar And A Male Red-Fronted Timber Barbet von Jacques Barraband im Januar 2010 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 8.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 50.000,00 (€ 36.049,03) mehr als sechsmal so hoch. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Jacques Barraband auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Troisième variété du perroquet cendré - The Grey Parrot - Psittacus erithacus. im Juni 2000 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 91.750,00 (€ 145.435,04).
