The work Night Sky Over Roof by Charles Ephraim Burchfield was sold in the Modern American Masterworks from the Ted Shen Collection auction at Christies in New York in April this year. The »bidding war« ended at USD 119,700.00 (€ 108,423.91), 71% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Charles Ephraim Burchfield achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Cherry Blossom Snow in May 2018 with an auction result of USD 1,812,500.00 (€ 1,553,127.68).

Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 119.700,00 (€ 108.423,91) und damit 71% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Charles Ephraim Burchfield erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Cherry Blossom Snow im Mai 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 1.812.500,00 (€ 1.553.127,68).
