Sold at the lower estimate price
The work Brazilian military encampment in Yguazú by Adolf Methfessel was auctioned at Christies in New York in May 2008. The result of USD 10,000.00 (€ 6,426.74) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of USD 10,000.00 – 15,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Adolf Methfessel - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Sunrise at the upper Parana river, which sold at auction in June 2007 for USD 18,000.00 (€ 13,313.61).

Für andere Arbeiten von Adolf Methfessel mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Sunrise at the upper Parana river beobachtet, die im Juni 2007 für USD 18.000,00 (€ 13.313,61) versteigert wurde.
