Despite a disappointment, a good price for John Henry Amshewitz
When the work Death'S Arrest by John Henry Amshewitz was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in November 2017, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 40,000.00 – 60,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 37,500.00 (€ 31,517.90). Despite this disappointing result, Death'S Arrest is the most expensive artwork by John Henry Amshewitz that we have observed at auction so far.
Trotz Enttäuschung ein guter Preis für John Henry Amshewitz
Als die Arbeit Death'S Arrest von John Henry Amshewitz im November 2017 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 40.000,00 – 60.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 37.500,00 (€ 31.517,90) den Besitzer. Trotz dieses enttäuschenden Ergebnisses ist Death'S Arrest das teuerste Kunstwerk von John Henry Amshewitz, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
