A top price for Morris Kantor
When the work Orchestra by Morris Kantor was auctioned at Christies in New York in November 2018, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 100,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than five times as high at USD 516,500.00 (€ 456,151.20). This high result makes Orchestra the most expensive artwork by Morris Kantor that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Morris Kantor
Als die Arbeit Orchestra von Morris Kantor im November 2018 bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 100.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 516.500,00 (€ 456.151,20) mehr als fünfmal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Orchestra zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Morris Kantor, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
