Artwork auctioned at five times the upper estimate price
When the work Leopard and Snake by a Lake by Lawrence Lebduska was auctioned at Phillips in New York in April 2010, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 2,500.00 but the actual price achieved was more than five times as high at USD 13,750.00 (€ 10,336.79). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Lawrence Lebduska; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot two works: Horses at the Water Hole and Panic (Prancing Horses) sold at auction in April 2010 with the realized price of USD 18,750.00 (€ 14,095.62).
Kunstwerk zum Fünffachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Leopard and Snake by a Lake von Lawrence Lebduska im April 2010 bei Phillips in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 2.500,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 13.750,00 (€ 10.336,79) mehr als fünfmal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Lawrence Lebduska; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit two works: Horses at the Water Hole and Panic (Prancing Horses) im April 2010 mit dem Hammerpreis von USD 18.750,00 (€ 14.095,62).
