Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work The Lobster Man by Doug Brega was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in June 2016. It achieved a price of USD 6,000.00 (€ 5,438.72), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 20%. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Doug Brega - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Red Door, which sold at auction in November last year for USD 16,575.00 (€ 16,056.38).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Die Arbeit The Lobster Man von Doug Brega kam im Juni 2016 bei Sothebys in New York zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von USD 6.000,00 (€ 5.438,72) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 20%. Für andere Arbeiten von Doug Brega mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Red Door beobachtet, die im November letzten Jahres für USD 16.575,00 (€ 16.056,38) versteigert wurde.
