A top price for Paula Scher
When the work Manhattan at Night by Paula Scher was auctioned at Phillips in New York in April 2018, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 5,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 15,000.00 (€ 12,423.39). This high result makes Manhattan at Night the most expensive artwork by Paula Scher that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Paula Scher
Als die Arbeit Manhattan at Night von Paula Scher im April 2018 bei Phillips in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 5.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 15.000,00 (€ 12.423,39) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Manhattan at Night zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Paula Scher, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
