Artwork auctioned at nine times the upper estimate price

When the work Navajo Child and Lamb by Conrad Buff was auctioned at Bonhams in Los Angeles in August 2021, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 400.00 but the actual price achieved was more than nine times as high at USD 3,825.00 (€ 3,241.53). Admittedly, works by Conrad Buff have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Canyon Walls, Zion National Park, Utah in April last year with an auction result of USD 16,575.00 (€ 15,730.28).

Kunstwerk zum Neunfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert

Als die Arbeit Navajo Child and Lamb von Conrad Buff im August 2021 bei Bonhams in Los Angeles versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 400,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 3.825,00 (€ 3.241,53) mehr als neunmal so hoch. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Conrad Buff auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Canyon Walls, Zion National Park, Utah im April letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 16.575,00 (€ 15.730,28).
