Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Elephants & Tulips by Hermann Dudley Murphy was sold in the Fine American Paintings, Drawings and Sculpture auction at Christies in New York in September 2010. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 12,000.00 – 18,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 12,500.00 (€ 9,190.50) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Hermann Dudley Murphy - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Gardenia, which sold at auction in March 2007 for USD 36,000.00 (€ 26,917.90).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Elephants & Tulips von Hermann Dudley Murphy wurde im September 2010 in der Auktion Fine American Paintings, Drawings and Sculpture bei Christies in New York versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 12.000,00 – 18.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 12.500,00 (€ 9.190,50) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Hermann Dudley Murphy mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Gardenia beobachtet, die im März 2007 für USD 36.000,00 (€ 26.917,90) versteigert wurde.
