This artwork by Milton Avery achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in November last year. In the Visionary: The Paul G. Allen Collection Part II auction, the work Cactus sold for USD 945,000.00 (€ 915,431.56) - well above the upper estimate of USD 500,000.00. Admittedly, works by Milton Avery have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work The Letter in May last year with an auction result of USD 6,069,500.00 (€ 5,656,043.24).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 89 % übertroffen

Dieses Kunstwerk von Milton Avery erzielte im November letzten Jahres bei Christies in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Visionary: The Paul G. Allen Collection Part II wurde die Arbeit Cactus für USD 945.000,00 (€ 915.431,56) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 500.000,00. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Milton Avery auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit The Letter im Mai letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 6.069.500,00 (€ 5.656.043,24).
