Upper estimate price exceeded by 60 %.

In July 2021 Sothebys in Paris held the auction In the Studio of Paolo Roversi, which included the work Wendy Whitelaw on Park Avenue, 1982 by Arthur Elgort. The »bidding war« ended at EUR 4,788.00 60% above the upper estimate. Admittedly, works by Arthur Elgort have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Kate Moss à la Brasserie Lipp, Paris, pour Italian Vogue, septembre 1993 in November 2018 with an auction result of EUR 25,000.00.

Oberer Schätzpreis um 60 % übertroffen

Im Juli 2021 führte Sothebys in Paris die Auktion In the Studio of Paolo Roversi durch, in der auch die Arbeit Wendy Whitelaw on Park Avenue, 1982 von Arthur Elgort zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von EUR 4.788,00 und damit 60% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Arthur Elgort auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Kate Moss à la Brasserie Lipp, Paris, pour Italian Vogue, septembre 1993 im November 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von EUR 25.000,00.
