Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Lake George by John Frederick Kensett was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in November 2019, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 100,000.00 – 150,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 93,750.00 (€ 85,080.32). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by John Frederick Kensett achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Entrance to Newport Harbor in December 2005 with an auction result of USD 1,248,000.00 (€ 1,053,876.03).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Lake George von John Frederick Kensett im November 2019 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 100.000,00 – 150.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 93.750,00 (€ 85.080,32) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von John Frederick Kensett erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Entrance to Newport Harbor im Dezember 2005 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 1.248.000,00 (€ 1.053.876,03).
