A top price for Laura Coombs Hills
When the work Larkspur and Lilies by Laura Coombs Hills was auctioned at Christies in New York in November 2017, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 7,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 21,250.00 (€ 17,860.14). This high result makes Larkspur and Lilies the most expensive artwork by Laura Coombs Hills that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Laura Coombs Hills
Als die Arbeit Larkspur and Lilies von Laura Coombs Hills im November 2017 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 7.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 21.250,00 (€ 17.860,14) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Larkspur and Lilies zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Laura Coombs Hills, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
