Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Hot Moon by Milton Avery was sold in the 20th Century & Contemporary Art Evening Sale auction at Phillips in New York in November last year. The price achieved of USD 2,208,000.00 (€ 2,138,913.11) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 1,800,000.00 – 2,500,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Milton Avery - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Letter, which sold at auction in May last year for USD 6,069,500.00 (€ 5,656,043.24).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 2.208.000,00 (€ 2.138.913,11) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 1.800.000,00 – 2.500.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Milton Avery mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The Letter beobachtet, die im Mai letzten Jahres für USD 6.069.500,00 (€ 5.656.043,24) versteigert wurde.
