Auction result well in line with expectations

In March 2018 Sothebys in New York held the auction Contemporary Curated, which included the work Untitled (#2 Studio Interior) by Elmer Nelson Bischoff. The price achieved of USD 2,500.00 (€ 2,029.22) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 2,000.00 – 3,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Elmer Nelson Bischoff achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Red Cliffs in May 2006 with an auction result of USD 564,800.00 (€ 440,115.33).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Im März 2018 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion Contemporary Curated durch, in der auch die Arbeit Untitled (#2 Studio Interior) von Elmer Nelson Bischoff zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 2.500,00 (€ 2.029,22) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 2.000,00 – 3.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Elmer Nelson Bischoff erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Red Cliffs im Mai 2006 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 564.800,00 (€ 440.115,33).
