In December 2003 Christies in New York held the auction PLAYBOY AT 50, which included the work Damn it, Lorenzo, not so romantic! by John Dempsey. The »bidding war« ended at USD 1,912.00 (€ 1,517.82), 27% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by John Dempsey - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work You certainly look different without your dictation pad, Miss Bloom, which sold at auction in December 2003 for USD 4,182.50 (€ 3,320.23).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 27 % übertroffen
Im Dezember 2003 führte Christies in New York die Auktion PLAYBOY AT 50 durch, in der auch die Arbeit Damn it, Lorenzo, not so romantic! von John Dempsey zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 1.912,00 (€ 1.517,82) und damit 27% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von John Dempsey mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit You certainly look different without your dictation pad, Miss Bloom beobachtet, die im Dezember 2003 für USD 4.182,50 (€ 3.320,23) versteigert wurde.
