A top price for Dorothy Norman - as previously expected
In April 2002 Christies in New York held the auction Photographs, which included the work Clouds by Dorothy Norman. The price achieved of USD 7,170.00 (€ 7,964.90) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 6,000.00 – 8,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Clouds is the most expensive artwork by Dorothy Norman that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Im April 2002 führte Christies in New York die Auktion Photographs durch, in der auch die Arbeit Clouds von Dorothy Norman zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 7.170,00 (€ 7.964,90) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 6.000,00 – 8.000,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Clouds das teuerste Kunstwerk von Dorothy Norman, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
