The work Sails by Charles Sheeler was sold in the American Art auction at Christies in New York in November 2021. It achieved a price of USD 16,250.00 (€ 14,397.09), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 63%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Charles Sheeler achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work White Sentinels in May 2018 with an auction result of USD 2,232,500.00 (€ 1,913,024.85).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 63 % übertroffen
