Auction result well in line with expectations
In January 2024 Bonhams in Los Angeles held the auction Prints & Multiples, which included the work Boss of the Block by Martin Lewis. The price achieved of USD 1,024.00 (€ 894.95) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 800.00 – 1,200.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Martin Lewis achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Snowstorm, Danbury, Connecticut and Study for 'Snowstorm, Danbury, Connecticut': A Pair of Works in November 2017 with an auction result of USD 56,250.00 (€ 47,276.85).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Januar 2024 führte Bonhams in Los Angeles die Auktion Prints & Multiples durch, in der auch die Arbeit Boss of the Block von Martin Lewis zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 1.024,00 (€ 894,95) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 800,00 – 1.200,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Martin Lewis erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Snowstorm, Danbury, Connecticut and Study for 'Snowstorm, Danbury, Connecticut': A Pair of Works im November 2017 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 56.250,00 (€ 47.276,85).
