Auction result well in line with expectations
In October 2010 Sothebys in New York held the auction Impressionist & Modern Art, Including Russian and Latin American Art, which included the work Head And Reclining Woman by Cecil Skotnes. The price achieved of USD 25,000.00 (€ 17,993.38) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 20,000.00 – 30,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Cecil Skotnes - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Shaka Zulu, which sold at auction in May 2019 for USD 43,825.00 (€ 39,308.46).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Oktober 2010 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion Impressionist & Modern Art, Including Russian and Latin American Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Head And Reclining Woman von Cecil Skotnes zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 25.000,00 (€ 17.993,38) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 20.000,00 – 30.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Cecil Skotnes mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Shaka Zulu beobachtet, die im Mai 2019 für USD 43.825,00 (€ 39.308,46) versteigert wurde.
