Auction result well in line with expectations
In November 2002 Christies in Los Angeles held the auction CALIFORNIA, WESTERN AND AMERICAN PAINTINGS, which included the work I apologize. Sure! by William Henry Dethlef Koerner. The price achieved of USD 35,850.00 (€ 36,095.45) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 30,000.00 – 50,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by William Henry Dethlef Koerner - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Posse, which sold at auction in October 2020 for USD 137,500.00 (€ 118,056.15).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im November 2002 führte Christies in Los Angeles die Auktion CALIFORNIA, WESTERN AND AMERICAN PAINTINGS durch, in der auch die Arbeit I apologize. Sure! von William Henry Dethlef Koerner zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 35.850,00 (€ 36.095,45) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 30.000,00 – 50.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von William Henry Dethlef Koerner mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The Posse beobachtet, die im Oktober 2020 für USD 137.500,00 (€ 118.056,15) versteigert wurde.
