A top price for Jean-Claude Silbermann
When the work The Aged Woman Embarks on a Journey by Jean-Claude Silbermann was auctioned at Christies 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 1,500.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 4,750.00 (€ 4,195.00). This high result makes The Aged Woman Embarks on a Journey the most expensive artwork by Jean-Claude Silbermann that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Jean-Claude Silbermann
Als die Arbeit The Aged Woman Embarks on a Journey von Jean-Claude Silbermann im November 2018 bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 1.500,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 4.750,00 (€ 4.195,00) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht The Aged Woman Embarks on a Journey zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Jean-Claude Silbermann, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
