LACMA's Deaccessioning Jackpot

January 28, 2010 by Marion Maneker

LACMA has been selling Old Masters for the last year or two. They did it again today at Sotheby’s with 17 more paintings. Carol Vogel did a little math on the works by
Ferdinand Bol, Martino di Bartolomeo and Alonso de Escobar:

The group made $3.8 million, above its $1.7 million high estimate. (The estimate does not include Sotheby’s fees.) The top seller was the 16th-century “Portrait of Hans Jakob Fugger, Three-Quarter Length, Before a Green Drape,” by the German master Christoph Amberger. It was bought by a telephone bidder for $1.2 million, including fees to the auction house. The price was four times its high $300,000 estimate.
