Despite a disappointment, a good price for Dennis Numkena
In December 2020 a collector was able to acquire the work "Mozart'S Magic Flute," 1982 by Dennis Numkena for USD 5,737.50 (€ 4,691.33). This price was achieved in the auction Modern & Historic Native American Art at Bonhams in Los Angeles and was even below the estimate range of USD 7,000.00 – 10,000.00 set by the auction house. Despite this disappointing result, "Mozart'S Magic Flute," 1982 is the most expensive artwork by Dennis Numkena that we have observed at auction so far.
