Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Rain and the Poet, 1977 by Emerson Woelffer was sold in the Made in CaliforniaContemporary Art auction at Bonhams in April this year. The price achieved of USD 5,737.50 (€ 5,197.01) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 5,000.00 – 7,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Emerson Woelffer - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work 7th Street, which sold at auction in January 2011 for USD 16,250.00 (€ 11,848.34).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Rain and the Poet, 1977 von Emerson Woelffer wurde im April diesen Jahres in der Auktion Made in CaliforniaContemporary Art bei Bonhams versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 5.737,50 (€ 5.197,01) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 5.000,00 – 7.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Emerson Woelffer mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit 7th Street beobachtet, die im Januar 2011 für USD 16.250,00 (€ 11.848,34) versteigert wurde.
