Auction result well in line with expectations
In April 2013 Sothebys in New York held the auction American Paintings, Drawings & Sculpture, which included the work Adam And Eve by Jack Levine. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 30,000.00 – 40,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 31,250.00 (€ 23,731.77) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Jack Levine - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Princess, which sold at auction in December 2011 for USD 86,500.00 (€ 66,676.94).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im April 2013 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion American Paintings, Drawings & Sculpture durch, in der auch die Arbeit Adam And Eve von Jack Levine zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 30.000,00 – 40.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 31.250,00 (€ 23.731,77) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Jack Levine mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The Princess beobachtet, die im Dezember 2011 für USD 86.500,00 (€ 66.676,94) versteigert wurde.
