Auction result well in line with expectations
In November 2019 Phillips in New York held the auction 20th C. & Contemporary Art Evening Sale, which included the work Singing by Morris Louis. The price achieved of USD 1,700,000.00 (€ 1,542,789.73) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 1,500,000.00 – 2,000,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Morris Louis - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Floral V, which sold at auction in November last year for USD 5,580,000.00 (€ 5,405,405.41).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im November 2019 führte Phillips in New York die Auktion 20th C. & Contemporary Art Evening Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit Singing von Morris Louis zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 1.700.000,00 (€ 1.542.789,73) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 1.500.000,00 – 2.000.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Morris Louis mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Floral V beobachtet, die im November letzten Jahres für USD 5.580.000,00 (€ 5.405.405,41) versteigert wurde.
