Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In November 2018 Christies in New York held the auction American Art, which included the work Invitation to Christ to Enter by his Disciples at Emmaus by Henry Ossawa Tanner. Here, the upper estimate of USD 80,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for USD 87,500.00 (€ 77,276.34). Admittedly, works by Henry Ossawa Tanner have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Nicodemus Coming to Christ in May 2008 with an auction result of USD 541,000.00 (€ 347,686.38).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im November 2018 führte Christies in New York die Auktion American Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Invitation to Christ to Enter by his Disciples at Emmaus von Henry Ossawa Tanner zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von USD 80.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für USD 87.500,00 (€ 77.276,34) einen neuen Besitzer. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Henry Ossawa Tanner auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Nicodemus Coming to Christ im Mai 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 541.000,00 (€ 347.686,38).
