Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price
When the work Knucklehead 98098-9 Xxxxxxx by Louis Eisner was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in May 2014, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 12,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at USD 53,125.00 (€ 38,947.95). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Louis Eisner - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Marshall Head (Void), which sold at auction in May 2014 for USD 137,000.00 (€ 100,439.88).
Kunstwerk zum Vierfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Knucklehead 98098-9 Xxxxxxx von Louis Eisner im Mai 2014 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 12.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 53.125,00 (€ 38.947,95) mehr als viermal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Louis Eisner mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Marshall Head (Void) beobachtet, die im Mai 2014 für USD 137.000,00 (€ 100.439,88) versteigert wurde.
