Auction result well in line with expectations
In November 2021 Bonhams in New York held the auction American Art, which included the work Robed Nude by Milton Avery. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 1,000,000.00 – 1,500,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 1,110,312.50 (€ 983,709.13) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. 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 im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im November 2021 führte Bonhams in New York die Auktion American Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Robed Nude von Milton Avery zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 1.000.000,00 – 1.500.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 1.110.312,50 (€ 983.709,13) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. 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).
