A top price for Emily Carr - as previously expected
In November 2019 Sothebys in New York held the auction American Art, which included the work Skedans by Emily Carr. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 3,000,000.00 – 5,000,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 3,260,000.00 (€ 2,958,526.18) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Skedans is the most expensive artwork by Emily Carr that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Im November 2019 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion American Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Skedans von Emily Carr zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 3.000.000,00 – 5.000.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 3.260.000,00 (€ 2.958.526,18) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Skedans das teuerste Kunstwerk von Emily Carr, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
