Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Modest Maneuver by Gillette Elvgren was auctioned at Sothebys in London in February 2017. It changed hands for a price of GBP 32,500.00 (€ 38,037.06) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of GBP 25,000.00 – 35,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Gillette Elvgren - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Fascination, which sold at auction in October 2015 for USD 125,000.00 (€ 113,204.13).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Modest Maneuver von Gillette Elvgren kam im Februar 2017 bei Sothebys in London zur Auktion. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von GBP 32.500,00 (€ 38.037,06) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 25.000,00 – 35.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Gillette Elvgren mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Fascination beobachtet, die im Oktober 2015 für USD 125.000,00 (€ 113.204,13) versteigert wurde.
