This artwork by Charles LeDray achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in September 2015. In the First Open auction, the work without title sold for USD 56,250.00 (€ 50,394.19) - well above the upper estimate of USD 30,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Charles LeDray - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Promised Land, which sold at auction in November 2011 for USD 182,500.00 (€ 135,657.47).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 88 % übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Charles LeDray erzielte im September 2015 bei Christies in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion First Open wurde diese Arbeit ohne Titel für USD 56.250,00 (€ 50.394,19) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 30.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Charles LeDray mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Promised Land beobachtet, die im November 2011 für USD 182.500,00 (€ 135.657,47) versteigert wurde.
