Auction result well in line with expectations
In November this year Bonhams in Los Angeles held the auction American Art, which included the work Warm Emphasis by Werner Drewes. The price achieved of USD 7,040.00 (€ 6,453.98) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 6,000.00 – 8,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Werner Drewes achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Expectation of New Events in November last year with an auction result of USD 75,975.00 (€ 73,597.79).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im November diesen Jahres führte Bonhams in Los Angeles die Auktion American Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Warm Emphasis von Werner Drewes zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 7.040,00 (€ 6.453,98) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 6.000,00 – 8.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Werner Drewes erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Expectation of New Events im November letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 75.975,00 (€ 73.597,79).
