Despite a disappointment, a good price for Sydney Laurence

In December 2008 a collector was able to acquire the work The Cache by Sydney Laurence for USD 98,500.00 (€ 70,766.58). This price was achieved in the auction American Paintings, Drawings & Sculpture at Sothebys in New York and was even below the estimate range of USD 100,000.00 – 150,000.00 set by the auction house. Despite this disappointing result, The Cache is the most expensive artwork by Sydney Laurence that we have observed at auction so far.

Trotz Enttäuschung ein guter Preis für Sydney Laurence

Im Dezember 2008 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit The Cache von Sydney Laurence für USD 98.500,00 (€ 70.766,58) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion American Paintings, Drawings & Sculpture bei Sothebys in New York erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von USD 100.000,00 – 150.000,00. Trotz dieses enttäuschenden Ergebnisses ist The Cache das teuerste Kunstwerk von Sydney Laurence, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
