A top price for Adolph Gottlieb - as previously expected
The work Bonac by Adolph Gottlieb was auctioned at Christies in New York in November 2018. The price achieved of USD 4,812,500.00 (€ 4,250,198.71) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 4,000,000.00 – 6,000,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Bonac is the most expensive artwork by Adolph Gottlieb that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Die Arbeit Bonac von Adolph Gottlieb kam im November 2018 bei Christies in New York zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 4.812.500,00 (€ 4.250.198,71) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 4.000.000,00 – 6.000.000,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Bonac das teuerste Kunstwerk von Adolph Gottlieb, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
