Auction result well in line with expectations
In April 2013 Sothebys in New York held the auction American Paintings, Drawings & Sculpture, which included the work Grasse by Lois Mailou Jones. The price achieved of USD 8,125.00 (€ 6,170.26) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 7,000.00 – 10,000.00. 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).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im April 2013 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion American Paintings, Drawings & Sculpture durch, in der auch die Arbeit Grasse von Lois Mailou Jones zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 8.125,00 (€ 6.170,26) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 7.000,00 – 10.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Lois Mailou Jones mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Le Consulat beobachtet, die im April 2012 für USD 18.750,00 (€ 14.173,41) versteigert wurde.
