A top price for Davis Cone
When the work Radio City by Davis Cone 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 30,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than six times as high at USD 206,250.00 (€ 195,275.52). This high result makes Radio City the most expensive artwork by Davis Cone that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Davis Cone
Als die Arbeit Radio City von Davis Cone 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 30.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 206.250,00 (€ 195.275,52) mehr als sechsmal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Radio City zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Davis Cone, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
