Despite a disappointment, a good price for Nils Hogner
When the work Portrait of a Navajo Man 16 x 13 in. framed 20 1/2 x 17 1/2 in. by Nils Hogner was auctioned at Bonhams in Los Angeles in December last year, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 1,000.00 – 1,500.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 637.50 (€ 595.91). Despite this disappointing result, Portrait of a Navajo Man 16 x 13 in. framed 20 1/2 x 17 1/2 in. is the most expensive artwork by Nils Hogner that we have observed at auction so far.
Trotz Enttäuschung ein guter Preis für Nils Hogner
Als die Arbeit Portrait of a Navajo Man 16 x 13 in. framed 20 1/2 x 17 1/2 in. von Nils Hogner im Dezember letzten Jahres bei Bonhams in Los Angeles versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 1.000,00 – 1.500,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 637,50 (€ 595,91) den Besitzer. Trotz dieses enttäuschenden Ergebnisses ist Portrait of a Navajo Man 16 x 13 in. framed 20 1/2 x 17 1/2 in. das teuerste Kunstwerk von Nils Hogner, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
