Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In June 2010 Sothebys in New York held the auction Photographs from the Polaroid Collection, which included the work Selected Nudes From Human Metaphor Series by Walter Chappell. Here, the upper estimate of USD 6,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for USD 6,875.00 (€ 5,593.52). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Walter Chappell - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Gestures Of Infinity, which sold at auction in June 2010 for USD 20,000.00 (€ 16,272.07).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im Juni 2010 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion Photographs from the Polaroid Collection durch, in der auch die Arbeit Selected Nudes From Human Metaphor Series von Walter Chappell zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von USD 6.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für USD 6.875,00 (€ 5.593,52) einen neuen Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Walter Chappell mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Gestures Of Infinity beobachtet, die im Juni 2010 für USD 20.000,00 (€ 16.272,07) versteigert wurde.
