Auction result well in line with expectations
The work The Duke’S Mermaid (From Sculptural Forms) by Michael Dweck was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in October 2018. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 40,000.00 – 60,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 43,750.00 (€ 38,607.48) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Michael Dweck - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Sonya, Poles (Montauk), which sold at auction in October 2018 for USD 168,750.00 (€ 148,914.58).
