A top price for Shelby Lee Adams
When the work Leddie and Children by Shelby Lee Adams was auctioned at Bonhams in New York in August last year, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 1,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 3,570.00 (€ 3,546.94). This high result makes Leddie and Children the most expensive artwork by Shelby Lee Adams that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Shelby Lee Adams
Als die Arbeit Leddie and Children von Shelby Lee Adams im August letzten Jahres bei Bonhams in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 1.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 3.570,00 (€ 3.546,94) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Leddie and Children zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Shelby Lee Adams, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
