Artwork auctioned at eight times the upper estimate price
When this work without title by Robert Moskowitz was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in July 2020, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 4,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than eight times as high at USD 32,500.00 (€ 27,603.19). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Robert Moskowitz; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot without title sold at auction in March 2020 with the realized price of USD 47,500.00 (€ 43,068.27).
Kunstwerk zum Achtfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit ohne Titel von Robert Moskowitz im Juli 2020 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 4.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 32.500,00 (€ 27.603,19) mehr als achtmal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Robert Moskowitz; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit ohne Titel im März 2020 mit dem Hammerpreis von USD 47.500,00 (€ 43.068,27).
