A top price for Louis Stone

When the work Untitled (Abstract Composition) by Louis Stone was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in October 2021, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 15,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 56,700.00 (€ 49,082.41). This high result makes Untitled (Abstract Composition) the most expensive artwork by Louis Stone that we have observed at auctions so far.

Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Untitled (Abstract Composition) zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Louis Stone, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
