Auction result well in line with expectations
In February this year Bonhams held the auction Coast to Coast | Live OnlineAmerican Art, including The Collection of Gail Feingarten Oppenheimer, which included the work Cave of Winds and Fusions (a group of two) by Arthur Okamura. It changed hands for a price of USD 1,147.50 (€ 1,082.34) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of USD 800.00 – 1,200.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Arthur Okamura - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work When the Moon is Black, which sold at auction in February this year for USD 3,570.00 (€ 3,367.29).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Februar diesen Jahres führte Bonhams die Auktion Coast to Coast | Live OnlineAmerican Art, including The Collection of Gail Feingarten Oppenheimer durch, in der auch die Arbeit Cave of Winds and Fusions (a group of two) von Arthur Okamura zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von USD 1.147,50 (€ 1.082,34) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 800,00 – 1.200,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Arthur Okamura mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit When the Moon is Black beobachtet, die im Februar diesen Jahres für USD 3.570,00 (€ 3.367,29) versteigert wurde.
