Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work Tournament by Isabel Bishop was auctioned at Christies in New York in September 2004, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 10,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 31,070.00 (€ 25,022.15). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Isabel Bishop - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Nude by Stream, which sold at auction in June 2000 for USD 49,350.00 (€ 51,702.46).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Tournament von Isabel Bishop im September 2004 bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 10.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 31.070,00 (€ 25.022,15) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Isabel Bishop mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Nude by Stream beobachtet, die im Juni 2000 für USD 49.350,00 (€ 51.702,46) versteigert wurde.
