Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Buffalo Masque by Lois Mailou Jones was sold in the American Paintings, Drawings & Sculpture auction at Sothebys in New York in April 2013. The price achieved of USD 5,938.00 (€ 4,509.42) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 5,000.00 – 7,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Lois Mailou Jones - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Le Consulat, which sold at auction in April 2012 for USD 18,750.00 (€ 14,173.41).
