A top price for David Novros
When the work Barranca I by David Novros was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in November 2015, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 35,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 125,000.00 (€ 118,348.80). This high result makes Barranca I the most expensive artwork by David Novros that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für David Novros
Als die Arbeit Barranca I von David Novros im November 2015 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 35.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 125.000,00 (€ 118.348,80) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Barranca I zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von David Novros, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
