Auction result well in line with expectations
In October 2011 Christies in New York held the auction The American Landscape, Black and White Photographs from The Collection of Bruce and Nancy Berman, which included the work Phrenologist's Office, 1936 by Peter Sekaer. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 2,500.00 – 3,500.00, the actual price achieved of USD 2,750.00 (€ 1,971.75) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Peter Sekaer - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work New York, c. 1935, which sold at auction in October 2011 for USD 8,750.00 (€ 6,273.75).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Oktober 2011 führte Christies in New York die Auktion The American Landscape, Black and White Photographs from The Collection of Bruce and Nancy Berman durch, in der auch die Arbeit Phrenologist's Office, 1936 von Peter Sekaer zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 2.500,00 – 3.500,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 2.750,00 (€ 1.971,75) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Peter Sekaer mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit New York, c. 1935 beobachtet, die im Oktober 2011 für USD 8.750,00 (€ 6.273,75) versteigert wurde.
