A top price for Elizabeth Murray
When the work Little Fingers by Elizabeth Murray was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in November 2019, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 80,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than five times as high at USD 437,500.00 (€ 397,041.47). This high result makes Little Fingers the most expensive artwork by Elizabeth Murray that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Elizabeth Murray
Als die Arbeit Little Fingers von Elizabeth Murray im November 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 80.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 437.500,00 (€ 397.041,47) mehr als fünfmal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Little Fingers zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Elizabeth Murray, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
