In December 2011 Sothebys in New York held the auction Israeli & International Art, which included the work Safed by Mordechai Levanon. The »bidding war« ended at USD 10,625.00 (€ 8,190.09), 33% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Mordechai Levanon - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Hurba Synagogue, Safed, which sold at auction in April 2002 for USD 21,150.00 (€ 23,494.78).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 33 % übertroffen
Im Dezember 2011 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion Israeli & International Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Safed von Mordechai Levanon zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 10.625,00 (€ 8.190,09) und damit 33% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von Mordechai Levanon mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The Hurba Synagogue, Safed beobachtet, die im April 2002 für USD 21.150,00 (€ 23.494,78) versteigert wurde.
