Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Oscar Edmund Berninghaus achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in August 2020. In the American Art Online auction, the work Bullfight Arena sold for USD 2,750.00 (€ 2,303.95) - well above the upper estimate of USD 1,200.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Oscar Edmund Berninghaus achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Ancient Forest of the Indians 25 x 30 in. framed 30 x 35 in. in November last year with an auction result of USD 542,175.00 (€ 525,210.69).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Oscar Edmund Berninghaus erzielte im August 2020 bei Christies in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion American Art Online wurde die Arbeit Bullfight Arena für USD 2.750,00 (€ 2.303,95) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 1.200,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Oscar Edmund Berninghaus erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Ancient Forest of the Indians 25 x 30 in. framed 30 x 35 in. im November letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 542.175,00 (€ 525.210,69).
