Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Milton Avery could be acquired at Sothebys in New York in November 2021 for an unexpectedly low price. In the American Art auction, the work Feeding changed hands for USD 1,169,500.00 (€ 1,036,147.78) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 1,200,000.00 – 1,800,000.00. 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).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Milton Avery konnte im November 2021 bei Sothebys in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion American Art wechselte die Arbeit Feeding für USD 1.169.500,00 (€ 1.036.147,78) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 1.200.000,00 – 1.800.000,00. 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).
