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.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Louis Stone
Als die Arbeit Untitled (Abstract Composition) von Louis Stone im Oktober 2021 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 15.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 56.700,00 (€ 49.082,41) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Untitled (Abstract Composition) zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Louis Stone, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
