Auction result well in line with expectations
The work The Watcher by Walter Ufer was sold in the Important American Paintings, Drawings And Sculpture auction at Christies in New York in May 2008. The price achieved of USD 481,000.00 (€ 309,125.96) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 400,000.00 – 600,000.00.
