A top price for Theodore Wores
When the work Chinese Musicians by Theodore Wores was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in November 2018, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 150,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 483,000.00 (€ 426,565.40). This high result makes Chinese Musicians the most expensive artwork by Theodore Wores that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Theodore Wores
Als die Arbeit Chinese Musicians von Theodore Wores im November 2018 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 150.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 483.000,00 (€ 426.565,40) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Chinese Musicians zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Theodore Wores, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
