The work The Seamstresses by Raphael Soyer was sold in the Living with Art auction at Christies in New York in October 2016. It achieved a price of USD 21,250.00 (€ 19,385.15), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 42%. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Raphael Soyer - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Passerby, which sold at auction in December 2009 for USD 86,500.00 (€ 60,354.45).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 42 % übertroffen

Die Arbeit The Seamstresses von Raphael Soyer wurde im Oktober 2016 in der Auktion Living with Art bei Christies in New York versteigert. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von USD 21.250,00 (€ 19.385,15) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 42%. Für andere Arbeiten von Raphael Soyer mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Passerby beobachtet, die im Dezember 2009 für USD 86.500,00 (€ 60.354,45) versteigert wurde.
