Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work Tankard, Pipe, Matches And Biscuit by John Frederick Peto was auctioned at Christies in New York in May 2021, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 18,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 62,500.00 (€ 51,254.72). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by John Frederick Peto achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Old Time Letter Rack in May 2015 with an auction result of USD 850,000.00 (€ 773,148.99).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Tankard, Pipe, Matches And Biscuit von John Frederick Peto im Mai 2021 bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 18.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 62.500,00 (€ 51.254,72) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von John Frederick Peto erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Old Time Letter Rack im Mai 2015 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 850.000,00 (€ 773.148,99).
