Auction result well in line with expectations
In December 2003 Christies in New York held the auction PLAYBOY AT 50, which included the work No, he hasn't yet, mama...pretty soon, I guess, mama...yes, I'll call you right after he does, mama... by John Dempsey. It changed hands for a price of USD 1,912.00 (€ 1,517.82) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of USD 1,500.00 – 2,000.00. 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).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Dezember 2003 führte Christies in New York die Auktion PLAYBOY AT 50 durch, in der auch die Arbeit No, he hasn't yet, mama...pretty soon, I guess, mama...yes, I'll call you right after he does, mama... von John Dempsey zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von USD 1.912,00 (€ 1.517,82) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 1.500,00 – 2.000,00. 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.
