Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Walter Peterhans achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in New York in April 2008. In the Photographs auction, the work Still Life Composition sold for USD 32,200.00 (€ 20,683.45) - well above the upper estimate of USD 15,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Walter Peterhans - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work 'Portrait Of E. F.', which sold at auction in October 2018 for USD 47,500.00 (€ 41,916.70).
