A top price for Edward Corbett
When the work Provincetown by Edward Corbett was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in July 2019, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 4,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than 11 times as high at USD 47,500.00 (€ 42,677.45). This high result makes Provincetown the most expensive artwork by Edward Corbett that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Edward Corbett
Als die Arbeit Provincetown von Edward Corbett im Juli 2019 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 4.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 47.500,00 (€ 42.677,45) mehr als elfmal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Provincetown zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Edward Corbett, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
