Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Gaston Lachaise achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in November 2018. In the An American Place | The Barney A. Ebsworth Collection Day Sale auction, the work Flying Figures (Two Floating Nude Acrobats) LF 30 sold for USD 237,500.00 (€ 209,750.07) - well above the upper estimate of USD 80,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Gaston Lachaise achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Standing Woman [LF 92|AID104142] in November 2018 with an auction result of USD 3,732,500.00 (€ 3,296,387.88).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Gaston Lachaise erzielte im November 2018 bei Christies in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion An American Place | The Barney A. Ebsworth Collection Day Sale wurde die Arbeit Flying Figures (Two Floating Nude Acrobats) LF 30 für USD 237.500,00 (€ 209.750,07) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 80.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Gaston Lachaise erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Standing Woman [LF 92|AID104142] im November 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 3.732.500,00 (€ 3.296.387,88).
