Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price

When the work Sitges, Spain by Herman Rose was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in April 2021, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 500.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 1,764.00 (€ 1,466.33). Admittedly, works by Herman Rose have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Flowers On A Chair in April 2021 with an auction result of USD 8,190.00 (€ 6,807.98).

Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert

Als die Arbeit Sitges, Spain von Herman Rose im April 2021 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 500,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 1.764,00 (€ 1.466,33) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Herman Rose auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Flowers On A Chair im April 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 8.190,00 (€ 6.807,98).
