Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Thomas Eakins achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in New York in May 2010. In the American Paintings, Drawings & Sculpture auction, the work Portrait Of The Artist'S Sister, Margaret Eakins sold for USD 134,500.00 (€ 108,739.59) - well above the upper estimate of USD 50,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Thomas Eakins achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Cowboys in the Badlands in May 2003 with an auction result of USD 5,383,500.00 (€ 4,575,471.70).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Thomas Eakins erzielte im Mai 2010 bei Sothebys in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion American Paintings, Drawings & Sculpture wurde die Arbeit Portrait Of The Artist'S Sister, Margaret Eakins für USD 134.500,00 (€ 108.739,59) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 50.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Thomas Eakins erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Cowboys in the Badlands im Mai 2003 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 5.383.500,00 (€ 4.575.471,70).
