A top price for Laura Gilpin - as previously expected
In July 2020 Sothebys in New York held the auction Photographs from the Ginny Williams Collection, which included the work 'Ranchos Church' by Laura Gilpin. The price achieved of USD 31,250.00 (€ 26,541.53) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 25,000.00 – 35,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, 'Ranchos Church' is the most expensive artwork by Laura Gilpin that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Im Juli 2020 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion Photographs from the Ginny Williams Collection durch, in der auch die Arbeit 'Ranchos Church' von Laura Gilpin zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 31.250,00 (€ 26.541,53) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 25.000,00 – 35.000,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist 'Ranchos Church' das teuerste Kunstwerk von Laura Gilpin, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
