A top price for John McLaughlin
When the work V-1957 by John McLaughlin was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in September 2017, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 120,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at USD 516,500.00 (€ 437,230.17). This high result makes V-1957 the most expensive artwork by John McLaughlin that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für John McLaughlin
Als die Arbeit V-1957 von John McLaughlin im September 2017 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 120.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 516.500,00 (€ 437.230,17) mehr als viermal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht V-1957 zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von John McLaughlin, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
