Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Thawing by Andrew Wyeth was auctioned at Christies in New York in November 2019. It achieved a price of USD 81,250.00 (€ 73,736.27), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 16%. 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).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Die Arbeit Thawing von Andrew Wyeth kam im November 2019 bei Christies in New York zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von USD 81.250,00 (€ 73.736,27) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 16%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Andrew Wyeth erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Day Dream im November letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 23.290.000,00 (€ 22.561.270,95).
