the first signed 'Chas.H.Woodbury' (lower left)

Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%

This artwork by Charles Herbert Woodbury achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in February 2011. In the Christie's Interiors auction, the work Waves crashing; and a companion painting sold for USD 2,000.00 (€ 1,450.01) - well above the upper estimate of USD 700.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Charles Herbert Woodbury achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Splashing in the Surf in June 2002 with an auction result of USD 47,800.00 (€ 48,498.38).

Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen

Dieses Kunstwerk von Charles Herbert Woodbury erzielte im Februar 2011 bei Christies in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Christie's Interiors wurde die Arbeit Waves crashing; and a companion painting für USD 2.000,00 (€ 1.450,01) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 700,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Charles Herbert Woodbury erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Splashing in the Surf im Juni 2002 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 47.800,00 (€ 48.498,38).
