Upper estimate price exceeded by 36 %.
The work His Boot 1951 by Andrew Wyeth was auctioned at Bonhams in Skinner Marlborough, Massachusetts in September last year. It achieved a price of USD 94,875.00 (€ 96,979.45), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 36%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Andrew Wyeth achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Day Dream in November last year with an auction result of USD 23,290,000.00 (€ 22,561,270.95).
