A top price for Peter Bradley
When the work Milkwood by Peter Bradley was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in May last year, 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 five times as high at USD 327,600.00 (€ 305,283.76). This high result makes Milkwood the most expensive artwork by Peter Bradley that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Peter Bradley
Als die Arbeit Milkwood von Peter Bradley im Mai letzten Jahres 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 60.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 327.600,00 (€ 305.283,76) mehr als fünfmal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Milkwood zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Peter Bradley, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
