Auction result well in line with expectations
The work 'Weathered Wood' (Vallejo'S Home, Sonoma) by Alma Lavenson was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in October 2015. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 7,000.00 – 10,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 7,500.00 (€ 6,792.25) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Alma Lavenson achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Self-Portrait in October 2000 with an auction result of USD 58,750.00 (€ 69,231.68).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit 'Weathered Wood' (Vallejo'S Home, Sonoma) von Alma Lavenson kam im Oktober 2015 bei Sothebys in New York zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 7.000,00 – 10.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 7.500,00 (€ 6.792,25) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Alma Lavenson erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Self-Portrait im Oktober 2000 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 58.750,00 (€ 69.231,68).
