A top price for Paul Cadmus

When the work Lloyd and Barbara Wescott by Paul Cadmus was auctioned at Christies in New York in November 2021, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 500,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at USD 2,430,000.00 (€ 2,152,919.29). This high result makes Lloyd and Barbara Wescott the most expensive artwork by Paul Cadmus that we have observed at auctions so far.

Ein Spitzenpreis für Paul Cadmus

Als die Arbeit Lloyd and Barbara Wescott von Paul Cadmus im November 2021 bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 500.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 2.430.000,00 (€ 2.152.919,29) mehr als viermal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Lloyd and Barbara Wescott zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Paul Cadmus, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
