Auction result well in line with expectations
In August 2021 Bonhams in Los Angeles held the auction Portrait of the WestThe Diane and Sam Stewart Collection, which included the work At The Timberline by Birger Sandzén. The price achieved of USD 69,062.50 (€ 58,527.54) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 60,000.00 – 80,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Birger Sandzén - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Moonrise Among The Red Rocks, which sold at auction in November 2012 for USD 158,500.00 (€ 121,829.36).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im August 2021 führte Bonhams in Los Angeles die Auktion Portrait of the WestThe Diane and Sam Stewart Collection durch, in der auch die Arbeit At The Timberline von Birger Sandzén zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 69.062,50 (€ 58.527,54) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 60.000,00 – 80.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Birger Sandzén mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Moonrise Among The Red Rocks beobachtet, die im November 2012 für USD 158.500,00 (€ 121.829,36) versteigert wurde.
