A top price for Louise Lawler
When the work Monogram by Louise Lawler was auctioned at Christies in New York in May 2012, 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 542,500.00 (€ 438,773.86). This high result makes Monogram the most expensive artwork by Louise Lawler that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Louise Lawler
Als die Arbeit Monogram von Louise Lawler im Mai 2012 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 150.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 542.500,00 (€ 438.773,86) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Monogram zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Louise Lawler, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
