Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price
When the work Still Life by Morton Livingston Schamberg was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in May 2015, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 50,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at USD 237,500.00 (€ 216,026.92). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Morton Livingston Schamberg - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Painting Vi (Camera Flashlight, Machine Still Life), which sold at auction in November 2014 for USD 965,000.00 (€ 775,848.21).
Kunstwerk zum Vierfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Still Life von Morton Livingston Schamberg im Mai 2015 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 50.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 237.500,00 (€ 216.026,92) mehr als viermal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Morton Livingston Schamberg mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Painting Vi (Camera Flashlight, Machine Still Life) beobachtet, die im November 2014 für USD 965.000,00 (€ 775.848,21) versteigert wurde.
