Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Study For Allegory by John Koch was sold in the American Art, Including the Collection of George S. Parker II from the Caxambas Foundation auction at Sothebys in New York in October 2016. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 5,000.00 – 7,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 5,250.00 (€ 4,789.27) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by John Koch achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Siesta in July 2020 with an auction result of USD 596,075.00 (€ 506,263.80).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Study For Allegory von John Koch wurde im Oktober 2016 in der Auktion American Art, Including the Collection of George S. Parker II from the Caxambas Foundation bei Sothebys in New York versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 5.000,00 – 7.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 5.250,00 (€ 4.789,27) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von John Koch erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Siesta im Juli 2020 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 596.075,00 (€ 506.263,80).
