Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Torso (Ogunquit Torso) LF 112 by Gaston Lachaise was auctioned at Christies in New York in August 2020. The price achieved of USD 23,750.00 (€ 19,897.79) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 20,000.00 – 30,000.00. 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).
