A top price for Nancy Grossman
When the work Arbus by Nancy Grossman was auctioned at Christies in New York in March 2018, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 60,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 225,000.00 (€ 182,629.87). This high result makes Arbus the most expensive artwork by Nancy Grossman that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Nancy Grossman
Als die Arbeit Arbus von Nancy Grossman im März 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 60.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 225.000,00 (€ 182.629,87) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Arbus zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Nancy Grossman, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
