Auction result well in line with expectations
In July 2020 Sothebys in New York held the auction Legends, Landscapes, and Lovelies | Photographs, which included the work 'Formosum Lily' by Dr. Dain L. Tasker. The price achieved of USD 4,375.00 (€ 3,715.81) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 3,000.00 – 5,000.00. Admittedly, works by Dr. Dain L. Tasker have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Tulips; Lily; and Strelitzia (Bird of Pardise) 3 in October 2018 with an auction result of USD 30,000.00 (€ 26,473.70).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Juli 2020 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion Legends, Landscapes, and Lovelies | Photographs durch, in der auch die Arbeit 'Formosum Lily' von Dr. Dain L. Tasker zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 4.375,00 (€ 3.715,81) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 3.000,00 – 5.000,00 angegeben worden. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Dr. Dain L. Tasker auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Tulips; Lily; and Strelitzia (Bird of Pardise) 3 im Oktober 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 30.000,00 (€ 26.473,70).
