Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work Selected Images by Laura Gilpin was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in December 2020, 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 27,720.00 (€ 22,665.58). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Laura Gilpin; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot 'Ranchos Church' sold at auction in July 2020 with the realized price of USD 31,250.00 (€ 26,541.53).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Selected Images von Laura Gilpin im Dezember 2020 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 7.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 27.720,00 (€ 22.665,58) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Laura Gilpin; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit 'Ranchos Church' im Juli 2020 mit dem Hammerpreis von USD 31.250,00 (€ 26.541,53).
