Despite a disappointment, a good price for Elsie Driggs
This work of art by Elsie Driggs could be acquired at Sothebys in New York in September 2019 for an unexpectedly low price. In the American Art auction, the work Lilacs changed hands for USD 5,000.00 (€ 4,585.05) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 6,000.00 – 8,000.00. Despite this disappointing result, Lilacs is the most expensive artwork by Elsie Driggs that we have observed at auction so far.
Trotz Enttäuschung ein guter Preis für Elsie Driggs
Dieses Kunstwerk von Elsie Driggs konnte im September 2019 bei Sothebys in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion American Art wechselte die Arbeit Lilacs für USD 5.000,00 (€ 4.585,05) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 6.000,00 – 8.000,00. Trotz dieses enttäuschenden Ergebnisses ist Lilacs das teuerste Kunstwerk von Elsie Driggs, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
