Auction result well in line with expectations
In February 2013 Sothebys in New York held the auction Old Master and 19th Century European Paintings and Drawings, including Property from the Estate of Giancarlo Baroni, which included the work Repartee On A Summer Afternoon by Carl Herpfer. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 12,000.00 – 18,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 12,500.00 (€ 9,557.31) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Carl Herpfer achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work An Evening's Entertainment in May 2000 with an auction result of USD 160,000.00 (€ 171,526.59).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Februar 2013 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion Old Master and 19th Century European Paintings and Drawings, including Property from the Estate of Giancarlo Baroni durch, in der auch die Arbeit Repartee On A Summer Afternoon von Carl Herpfer zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 12.000,00 – 18.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 12.500,00 (€ 9.557,31) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Carl Herpfer erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit An Evening's Entertainment im Mai 2000 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 160.000,00 (€ 171.526,59).
