Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price
When the work "Hollywood Indian #2," 1972 by Fritz Scholder was auctioned at Bonhams in Los Angeles in August last year, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 50,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at USD 246,075.00 (€ 244,485.84). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Fritz Scholder; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot "Dartmouth Portrait #8," 1973 sold at auction in August last year with the realized price of USD 378,375.00 (€ 375,931.45).
Kunstwerk zum Vierfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit "Hollywood Indian #2," 1972 von Fritz Scholder im August letzten Jahres bei Bonhams in Los Angeles versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 50.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 246.075,00 (€ 244.485,84) mehr als viermal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Fritz Scholder; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit "Dartmouth Portrait #8," 1973 im August letzten Jahres mit dem Hammerpreis von USD 378.375,00 (€ 375.931,45).
