Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In November this year Bonhams in Los Angeles held the auction American Art, which included the work The Jewel Box by Henry R. Rittenberg. The »bidding war« ended at USD 5,760.00 (€ 5,280.53), 15% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Henry R. Rittenberg - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Cyclamen, which sold at auction in March 2005 for USD 16,800.00 (€ 12,953.97).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im November diesen Jahres führte Bonhams in Los Angeles die Auktion American Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit The Jewel Box von Henry R. Rittenberg zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 5.760,00 (€ 5.280,53) und damit 15% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von Henry R. Rittenberg mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Cyclamen beobachtet, die im März 2005 für USD 16.800,00 (€ 12.953,97) versteigert wurde.
