Artwork auctioned at 11 times the upper estimate price

When the work Diana Vreeland at the Metropolitan Costume Institute Opening, New York, 1980 by Roxanne Lowit was auctioned at Christies in New York in February this year, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 800.00 but the actual price achieved was more than 11 times as high at USD 9,450.00 (€ 8,913.41). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Roxanne Lowit; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Pamela Anderson and David LaChapelle, L.A. sold at auction in May 2012 with the realized price of GBP 11,875.00 (€ 14,795.73).

Kunstwerk zum Elffachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert

Als die Arbeit Diana Vreeland at the Metropolitan Costume Institute Opening, New York, 1980 von Roxanne Lowit im Februar diesen Jahres 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 800,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 9.450,00 (€ 8.913,41) mehr als elfmal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Roxanne Lowit; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit Pamela Anderson and David LaChapelle, L.A. im Mai 2012 mit dem Hammerpreis von GBP 11.875,00 (€ 14.795,73).
