Auction result well in line with expectations
In March 2011 Sothebys in New York held the auction Contemporary Art, which included the work White Portrait No. 2 by Lester F. Johnson. The price achieved of USD 12,500.00 (€ 8,813.37) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 10,000.00 – 15,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Lester F. Johnson - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work City #3, which sold at auction in September 2014 for USD 34,375.00 (€ 27,221.25).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im März 2011 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion Contemporary Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit White Portrait No. 2 von Lester F. Johnson zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 12.500,00 (€ 8.813,37) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 10.000,00 – 15.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Lester F. Johnson mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit City #3 beobachtet, die im September 2014 für USD 34.375,00 (€ 27.221,25) versteigert wurde.
