Sold at the upper estimate price
In October 2016 Christies in New York held the auction Living with Art, which included the work Hopi Flute Song by Frank Paul Sauerwein. The auction ended at the price of USD 3,000.00 (€ 2,736.73), which exactly corresponded to the upper end of the estimated price range of USD 2,000.00 – 3,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Frank Paul Sauerwein - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Pottery Vendor, which sold at auction in May 2001 for USD 7,637.50 (€ 9,033.12).
Zuschlag beim oberen Schätzpreis
Im Oktober 2016 führte Christies in New York die Auktion Living with Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Hopi Flute Song von Frank Paul Sauerwein zur Versteigerung kam. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von USD 3.000,00 (€ 2.736,73) entsprach exakt dem oberen Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 2.000,00 – 3.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Frank Paul Sauerwein mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Pottery Vendor beobachtet, die im Mai 2001 für USD 7.637,50 (€ 9.033,12) versteigert wurde.
