Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work The Dole Of The King'S Daughter by Michele Zalopany was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in July 2019, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 600.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 2,250.00 (€ 2,021.56). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Michele Zalopany; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Bequest (Gypsy Rose Lee'S Bedroom) sold at auction in July 2019 with the realized price of USD 2,375.00 (€ 2,133.87).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit The Dole Of The King'S Daughter von Michele Zalopany im Juli 2019 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 600,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 2.250,00 (€ 2.021,56) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Michele Zalopany; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit Bequest (Gypsy Rose Lee'S Bedroom) im Juli 2019 mit dem Hammerpreis von USD 2.375,00 (€ 2.133,87).
