A top price for Otto Sommer - as previously expected
In November 2016 Sothebys in New York held the auction American Art, which included the work Attacked By A Bear by Otto Sommer. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 60,000.00 – 80,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 62,500.00 (€ 59,084.89) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Attacked By A Bear is the most expensive artwork by Otto Sommer that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Im November 2016 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion American Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Attacked By A Bear von Otto Sommer zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 60.000,00 – 80.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 62.500,00 (€ 59.084,89) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Attacked By A Bear das teuerste Kunstwerk von Otto Sommer, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
