In December 2017 Sothebys in New York held the auction Israeli & International Art, which included the work Studio Corner by Avigdor Arikha. The »bidding war« ended at USD 52,500.00 (€ 43,669.94), 50% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Avigdor Arikha - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Nude On A Sheet, which sold at auction in December 2017 for USD 162,500.00 (€ 135,168.86).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 50 % übertroffen
Im Dezember 2017 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion Israeli & International Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Studio Corner von Avigdor Arikha zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 52.500,00 (€ 43.669,94) und damit 50% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von Avigdor Arikha mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Nude On A Sheet beobachtet, die im Dezember 2017 für USD 162.500,00 (€ 135.168,86) versteigert wurde.
