Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Modernist Head in Profile (Profile Head with Cap) (Hirschl & Adler Galleries 77) by John Bradley Storrs was sold in the 19th and 20th Century Prints auction at Christies in New York in November 2000. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 2,000.00 – 3,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 2,232.50 (€ 2,567.86) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by John Bradley Storrs achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Abstract Sculpture in May 2011 with an auction result of USD 290,500.00 (€ 202,072.90).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Modernist Head in Profile (Profile Head with Cap) (Hirschl & Adler Galleries 77) von John Bradley Storrs wurde im November 2000 in der Auktion 19th and 20th Century Prints bei Christies in New York versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 2.000,00 – 3.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 2.232,50 (€ 2.567,86) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von John Bradley Storrs erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Abstract Sculpture im Mai 2011 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 290.500,00 (€ 202.072,90).
