Auction result misses estimated price range
In May 2021 a collector was able to acquire the work Farm Buildings, Connecticut by Charles Sheeler for USD 315,000.00 (€ 258,323.77). This price was achieved in the auction American Art at Sothebys in New York and was even below the estimate range of USD 500,000.00 – 700,000.00 set by the auction house. Admittedly, works by Charles Sheeler have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work White Sentinels in May 2018 with an auction result of USD 2,232,500.00 (€ 1,913,024.85).
