A top price for David Douglas Duncan
When the work Picasso, clad in a bright green terry-cloth robe, confronts the camera on front steps of Chateau de Vauvenargues by David Douglas Duncan was auctioned at Phillips in New York in April 2010, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 600.00 but the actual price achieved was more than 17 times as high at USD 10,625.00 (€ 7,987.52). This high result makes Picasso, clad in a bright green terry-cloth robe, confronts the camera on front steps of Chateau de Vauvenargues the most expensive artwork by David Douglas Duncan that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für David Douglas Duncan
Als die Arbeit Picasso, clad in a bright green terry-cloth robe, confronts the camera on front steps of Chateau de Vauvenargues von David Douglas Duncan im April 2010 bei Phillips in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 600,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 10.625,00 (€ 7.987,52) mehr als 17-mal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Picasso, clad in a bright green terry-cloth robe, confronts the camera on front steps of Chateau de Vauvenargues zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von David Douglas Duncan, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
