Auction result well in line with expectations
The work The Washerwoman by Walter Ufer was sold in the Portrait of the WestThe Diane and Sam Stewart Collection auction at Bonhams in Los Angeles in August 2021. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 200,000.00 – 300,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 212,812.50 (€ 180,349.58) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Admittedly, works by Walter Ufer have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work The Gateway in May 2008 with an auction result of USD 1,497,000.00 (€ 962,082.26).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit The Washerwoman von Walter Ufer wurde im August 2021 in der Auktion Portrait of the WestThe Diane and Sam Stewart Collection bei Bonhams in Los Angeles versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 200.000,00 – 300.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 212.812,50 (€ 180.349,58) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Walter Ufer auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit The Gateway im Mai 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 1.497.000,00 (€ 962.082,26).
