Despite a disappointment, a good price for Alexander Tovborg
This work of art by Alexander Tovborg could be acquired at Sothebys in New York in March last year for an unexpectedly low price. In the Contemporary Curated auction, the work PROVERBS OF HELL (the road of excess leads to the palace of wisdom) lucifer changed hands for USD 18,900.00 (€ 17,037.77) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 20,000.00 – 30,000.00. Despite this disappointing result, PROVERBS OF HELL (the road of excess leads to the palace of wisdom) lucifer is the most expensive artwork by Alexander Tovborg that we have observed at auction so far.
Trotz Enttäuschung ein guter Preis für Alexander Tovborg
Dieses Kunstwerk von Alexander Tovborg konnte im März letzten Jahres bei Sothebys in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Contemporary Curated wechselte die Arbeit PROVERBS OF HELL (the road of excess leads to the palace of wisdom) lucifer für USD 18.900,00 (€ 17.037,77) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 20.000,00 – 30.000,00. Trotz dieses enttäuschenden Ergebnisses ist PROVERBS OF HELL (the road of excess leads to the palace of wisdom) lucifer das teuerste Kunstwerk von Alexander Tovborg, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
