Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work More Fashion Mileage Per Dress, Barbara Vaughn, Harper's Bazaar, New York, 1956 by Lillian Bassman was auctioned at Christies in New York in April last year, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 6,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 21,420.00 (€ 20,328.37). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Lillian Bassman - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Across the Restaurant, Barbara Mullen, dress by Jacques Fath, Le Grand Vefour, Paris, which sold at auction in April 2016 for USD 50,000.00 (€ 43,702.47).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit More Fashion Mileage Per Dress, Barbara Vaughn, Harper's Bazaar, New York, 1956 von Lillian Bassman im April letzten Jahres 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 6.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 21.420,00 (€ 20.328,37) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Lillian Bassman mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Across the Restaurant, Barbara Mullen, dress by Jacques Fath, Le Grand Vefour, Paris beobachtet, die im April 2016 für USD 50.000,00 (€ 43.702,47) versteigert wurde.
