A top price for Ernest Berke - as previously expected
The work Crazy Horse 16 1/2 in. high by Ernest Berke was sold in the Western Art auction at Bonhams in Los Angeles in November last year. The price achieved of USD 3,570.00 (€ 3,458.30) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 3,000.00 – 5,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Crazy Horse 16 1/2 in. high is the most expensive artwork by Ernest Berke that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Die Arbeit Crazy Horse 16 1/2 in. high von Ernest Berke wurde im November letzten Jahres in der Auktion Western Art bei Bonhams in Los Angeles versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 3.570,00 (€ 3.458,30) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 3.000,00 – 5.000,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Crazy Horse 16 1/2 in. high das teuerste Kunstwerk von Ernest Berke, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
