Auction result well in line with expectations

In December this year Bonhams in Los Angeles held the auction Made in CaliforniaPhotographs, which included the work Elvis Presley by Alfred Wertheimer. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 1,500.00 – 2,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 1,536.00 (€ 1,388.54) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Admittedly, works by Alfred Wertheimer have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Elvis Presley. Twenty One Studies, 1956 in November 2007 with an auction result of GBP 8,125.00 (€ 11,377.10).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Im Dezember diesen Jahres führte Bonhams in Los Angeles die Auktion Made in CaliforniaPhotographs durch, in der auch die Arbeit Elvis Presley von Alfred Wertheimer zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 1.500,00 – 2.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 1.536,00 (€ 1.388,54) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Alfred Wertheimer auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Elvis Presley. Twenty One Studies, 1956 im November 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 8.125,00 (€ 11.377,10).
