Auction result misses estimated price range

In July last year a collector was able to acquire the work Quiet Cove by Milton Avery for USD 37,800.00 (€ 37,051.56). This price was achieved in the auction Modern Discoveries at Sothebys in New York and was even below the estimate range of USD 40,000.00 – 60,000.00 set by the auction house. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Milton Avery achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Letter in May last year with an auction result of USD 6,069,500.00 (€ 5,656,043.24).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Im Juli letzten Jahres konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit Quiet Cove von Milton Avery für USD 37.800,00 (€ 37.051,56) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion Modern Discoveries bei Sothebys in New York erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von USD 40.000,00 – 60.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Milton Avery erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Letter im Mai letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 6.069.500,00 (€ 5.656.043,24).
