Upper estimate price exceeded by 39 %.

The work Portrait of a Massacred Indian #3 by Fritz Scholder was auctioned at Bonhams in Los Angeles in August this year. It achieved a price of USD 1,664.00 (€ 1,535.20), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 39%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Fritz Scholder achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work "Dartmouth Portrait #8," 1973 in August last year with an auction result of USD 378,375.00 (€ 375,931.45).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 39 % übertroffen

Die Arbeit Portrait of a Massacred Indian #3 von Fritz Scholder kam im August diesen Jahres bei Bonhams in Los Angeles zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von USD 1.664,00 (€ 1.535,20) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 39%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Fritz Scholder erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit "Dartmouth Portrait #8," 1973 im August letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 378.375,00 (€ 375.931,45).
