Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In December 2018 Sothebys in New York held the auction A Life of Discovery: Works from The Allan Stone Collection | Contemporary Art Online, which included the work Lollipops (Big Suckers) by Lorraine Shemesh. Here, the upper estimate of USD 3,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for USD 3,250.00 (€ 2,836.94). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Lorraine Shemesh achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Backfloat in September 2011 with an auction result of USD 68,500.00 (€ 50,933.15).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im Dezember 2018 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion A Life of Discovery: Works from The Allan Stone Collection | Contemporary Art Online durch, in der auch die Arbeit Lollipops (Big Suckers) von Lorraine Shemesh zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von USD 3.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für USD 3.250,00 (€ 2.836,94) einen neuen Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Lorraine Shemesh erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Backfloat im September 2011 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 68.500,00 (€ 50.933,15).
