Upper estimate price exceeded by 51 %.
The work Green Trees by Milton Avery was sold in the Modern Discoveries auction at Sothebys in New York in March last year. The »bidding war« ended at USD 22,680.00 (€ 20,445.33), 51% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Milton Avery achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached 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 51 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit Green Trees von Milton Avery wurde im März letzten Jahres in der Auktion Modern Discoveries bei Sothebys in New York versteigert. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 22.680,00 (€ 20.445,33) und damit 51% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Milton Avery erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Letter im Mai letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 6.069.500,00 (€ 5.656.043,24).
