Sold at the lower estimate price
In December 2013 Christies in New York held the auction American Art, which included the work Chief Sitting Bull (Tatanka Iyotaka) by Edward Kemeys. The result of USD 30,000.00 (€ 21,772.26) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of USD 30,000.00 – 50,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Edward Kemeys - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work 'Coyote', which sold at auction in September 2009 for USD 80,500.00 (€ 55,023.92).
Zuschlag beim unteren Schätzpreis
Im Dezember 2013 führte Christies in New York die Auktion American Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Chief Sitting Bull (Tatanka Iyotaka) von Edward Kemeys zur Versteigerung kam. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von USD 30.000,00 (€ 21.772,26) entsprach exakt dem unteren Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 30.000,00 – 50.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Edward Kemeys mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit 'Coyote' beobachtet, die im September 2009 für USD 80.500,00 (€ 55.023,92) versteigert wurde.
