Sold at the lower estimate price
The work Sketch Of Lady In A White Hat by George Benjamin Luks was sold in the American Art auction at Sothebys in New York in May 2017. The result of USD 25,000.00 (€ 22,249.91) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of USD 25,000.00 – 35,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by George Benjamin Luks achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Lily Williams in May 2010 with an auction result of USD 1,874,500.00 (€ 1,515,482.25).
Zuschlag beim unteren Schätzpreis
Die Arbeit Sketch Of Lady In A White Hat von George Benjamin Luks wurde im Mai 2017 in der Auktion American Art bei Sothebys in New York versteigert. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von USD 25.000,00 (€ 22.249,91) entsprach exakt dem unteren Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 25.000,00 – 35.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von George Benjamin Luks erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Lily Williams im Mai 2010 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 1.874.500,00 (€ 1.515.482,25).
