Artwork auctioned at seven times the upper estimate price
When the work The Grandmother 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 seven times as high at USD 3,528.00 (€ 2,932.67). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Herman Rose - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Flowers On A Chair, which sold at auction in April 2021 for USD 8,190.00 (€ 6,807.98).
Kunstwerk zum Siebenfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit The Grandmother 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 3.528,00 (€ 2.932,67) mehr als siebenmal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Herman Rose mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Flowers On A Chair beobachtet, die im April 2021 für USD 8.190,00 (€ 6.807,98) versteigert wurde.
