Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work Blue Lake (Blue Landscape) by Lily Harmon was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in April 2021, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 300.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 1,008.00 (€ 837.91). Admittedly, works by Lily Harmon have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Location X in April 2021 with an auction result of USD 4,410.00 (€ 3,665.84).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Blue Lake (Blue Landscape) von Lily Harmon im April 2021 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 300,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 1.008,00 (€ 837,91) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Lily Harmon auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Location X im April 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 4.410,00 (€ 3.665,84).
