Auction result well in line with expectations

In May 2018 Sothebys in New York held the auction European Art, which included the work British The Huckster by Stanhope Alexander Forbes. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 80,000.00 – 120,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 81,250.00 (€ 69,622.96) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Stanhope Alexander Forbes - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Quarry Team, which sold at auction in July 2018 for GBP 237,500.00 (€ 266,289.72).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Im Mai 2018 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion European Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit British The Huckster von Stanhope Alexander Forbes zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 80.000,00 – 120.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 81.250,00 (€ 69.622,96) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Stanhope Alexander Forbes mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The Quarry Team beobachtet, die im Juli 2018 für GBP 237.500,00 (€ 266.289,72) versteigert wurde.
