Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work The Book of Omar by Hovsep Pushman was sold in the American Art auction at Bonhams in New York in November last year. It achieved a price of USD 9,562.50 (€ 9,263.30), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 20%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Hovsep Pushman achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Narcissa in November 2007 with an auction result of USD 541,000.00 (€ 368,327.89).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Die Arbeit The Book of Omar von Hovsep Pushman wurde im November letzten Jahres in der Auktion American Art bei Bonhams in New York versteigert. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von USD 9.562,50 (€ 9.263,30) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 20%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Hovsep Pushman erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Narcissa im November 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 541.000,00 (€ 368.327,89).
