Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work Untitled (Brahms Abstract) by Suzy Frelinghuysen was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in September 2020, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 18,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 69,300.00 (€ 59,139.78). Admittedly, works by Suzy Frelinghuysen have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Composition in November 2018 with an auction result of USD 552,500.00 (€ 487,944.89).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Untitled (Brahms Abstract) von Suzy Frelinghuysen im September 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 18.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 69.300,00 (€ 59.139,78) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Suzy Frelinghuysen auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Composition im November 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 552.500,00 (€ 487.944,89).
