Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Buckskin Vacation by Frank B. Hoffman was auctioned at Bonhams in Los Angeles in October 2020, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 6,000.00 – 8,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 3,825.00 (€ 3,284.11). Admittedly, works by Frank B. Hoffman have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Cattle Drive West in March 2015 with an auction result of USD 25,000.00 (€ 23,275.30).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Buckskin Vacation von Frank B. Hoffman im Oktober 2020 bei Bonhams in Los Angeles versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 6.000,00 – 8.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 3.825,00 (€ 3.284,11) den Besitzer. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Frank B. Hoffman auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Cattle Drive West im März 2015 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 25.000,00 (€ 23.275,30).
