Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In April last year Phillips in an online auction held the auction New York State of Mind: Photographs Online Auction, which included the work Over New York by Melvin Sokolsky. The »bidding war« ended at USD 23,940.00 (€ 22,719.94), 20% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Melvin Sokolsky - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Paris 1963, which sold at auction in April 2012 for USD 92,500.00 (€ 69,922.14).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im April letzten Jahres führte Phillips in einer Online-Auktion die Auktion New York State of Mind: Photographs Online Auction durch, in der auch die Arbeit Over New York von Melvin Sokolsky zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 23.940,00 (€ 22.719,94) und damit 20% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von Melvin Sokolsky mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Paris 1963 beobachtet, die im April 2012 für USD 92.500,00 (€ 69.922,14) versteigert wurde.
