Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Indian Mother by William Henry Dethlef Koerner was sold in the Important American Paintings, Drawings and Sculpture auction at Christies in New York in May 2000. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 50,000.00 – 70,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 52,875.00 (€ 56,684.18) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. 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
Die Arbeit Indian Mother von William Henry Dethlef Koerner wurde im Mai 2000 in der Auktion Important American Paintings, Drawings and Sculpture bei Christies in New York versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 50.000,00 – 70.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 52.875,00 (€ 56.684,18) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. 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.
