A top price for David Levine

When the work A Finisher (recto); Study for figures on a beach (verso) by David Levine was auctioned at Christies in New York in July 2007, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 800.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at USD 3,840.00 (€ 2,800.67). This high result makes A Finisher (recto); Study for figures on a beach (verso) the most expensive artwork by David Levine that we have observed at auctions so far.

Ein Spitzenpreis für David Levine

Als die Arbeit A Finisher (recto); Study for figures on a beach (verso) von David Levine im Juli 2007 bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 800,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 3.840,00 (€ 2.800,67) mehr als viermal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht A Finisher (recto); Study for figures on a beach (verso) zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von David Levine, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
