A top price for David Bradley - as previously expected

In August this year Bonhams in Los Angeles held the auction Modern Native American Art and JewelryFeaturing the Historic Pictorial Beadwork Collection of Joel and Kate Kopp, which included the work Freedom Fighter by David Bradley. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 5,000.00 – 7,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 5,376.00 (€ 4,959.87) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Freedom Fighter is the most expensive artwork by David Bradley that we have observed at auctions so far.

Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage

Im August diesen Jahres führte Bonhams in Los Angeles die Auktion Modern Native American Art and JewelryFeaturing the Historic Pictorial Beadwork Collection of Joel and Kate Kopp durch, in der auch die Arbeit Freedom Fighter von David Bradley zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 5.000,00 – 7.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 5.376,00 (€ 4.959,87) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Freedom Fighter das teuerste Kunstwerk von David Bradley, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
