In March 2015 Christies in New York held the auction American Art, which included the work Sheridan's Men by Mort Künstler. The »bidding war« ended at USD 22,500.00 (€ 20,947.77), 50% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Mort Künstler - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Keep To Your Sabers, Men! (Generals Custer And Hampton, Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, July 3, 1863), which sold at auction in April 2012 for USD 98,500.00 (€ 74,457.63).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 50 % übertroffen
Im März 2015 führte Christies in New York die Auktion American Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Sheridan's Men von Mort Künstler zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 22.500,00 (€ 20.947,77) und damit 50% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von Mort Künstler mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Keep To Your Sabers, Men! (Generals Custer And Hampton, Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, July 3, 1863) beobachtet, die im April 2012 für USD 98.500,00 (€ 74.457,63) versteigert wurde.
