Artwork auctioned at ten times the upper estimate price

When the work Waterfront by Herman Rose was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in April 2021, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 700.00 but the actual price achieved was more than ten times as high at USD 7,560.00 (€ 6,284.29). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Herman Rose; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Flowers On A Chair sold at auction in April 2021 with the realized price of USD 8,190.00 (€ 6,807.98).

Kunstwerk zum Zehnfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert

Als die Arbeit Waterfront von Herman Rose im April 2021 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 700,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 7.560,00 (€ 6.284,29) mehr als zehnmal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Herman Rose; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit Flowers On A Chair im April 2021 mit dem Hammerpreis von USD 8.190,00 (€ 6.807,98).
