A top price for Dorothy Dehner
When the work Septenarius by Dorothy Dehner was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in October 2020, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 25,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at USD 100,800.00 (€ 86,545.89). This high result makes Septenarius the most expensive artwork by Dorothy Dehner that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Dorothy Dehner
Als die Arbeit Septenarius von Dorothy Dehner im Oktober 2020 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 25.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 100.800,00 (€ 86.545,89) mehr als viermal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Septenarius zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Dorothy Dehner, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
