Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Paul Cadmus achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in New York in May last year. In the Modern Day Auction auction, the work Mallorcan Fishermen sold for USD 680,400.00 (€ 634,050.88) - well above the upper estimate of USD 300,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Paul Cadmus - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Lloyd and Barbara Wescott, which sold at auction in November 2021 for USD 2,430,000.00 (€ 2,152,919.29).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Paul Cadmus erzielte im Mai letzten Jahres bei Sothebys in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Modern Day Auction wurde die Arbeit Mallorcan Fishermen für USD 680.400,00 (€ 634.050,88) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 300.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Paul Cadmus mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Lloyd and Barbara Wescott beobachtet, die im November 2021 für USD 2.430.000,00 (€ 2.152.919,29) versteigert wurde.
