In October 2008 Christies in Beverly Hills held the auction California, Western and American Paintings, Drawings, and Sculpture, which included the work Taos Mood by Walter Ufer. The »bidding war« ended at USD 62,500.00 (€ 49,282.45), 25% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Walter Ufer achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Gateway in May 2008 with an auction result of USD 1,497,000.00 (€ 962,082.26).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 25 % übertroffen
Im Oktober 2008 führte Christies in Beverly Hills die Auktion California, Western and American Paintings, Drawings, and Sculpture durch, in der auch die Arbeit Taos Mood von Walter Ufer zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 62.500,00 (€ 49.282,45) und damit 25% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Walter Ufer erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Gateway im Mai 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 1.497.000,00 (€ 962.082,26).
