A top price for Frederick Schafer - as previously expected
In November 2011 Christies in New York held the auction Important American Paintings, Drawings and Sculpture, which included the work Indians on the Warpath by Frederick Schafer. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 30,000.00 – 50,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 32,500.00 (€ 24,158.18) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Indians on the Warpath is the most expensive artwork by Frederick Schafer that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Im November 2011 führte Christies in New York die Auktion Important American Paintings, Drawings and Sculpture durch, in der auch die Arbeit Indians on the Warpath von Frederick Schafer zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 30.000,00 – 50.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 32.500,00 (€ 24.158,18) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Indians on the Warpath das teuerste Kunstwerk von Frederick Schafer, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
