This artwork by Clementine Hunter achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in February last year. In the Outsider Art auction, the work Fishing, 1956 sold for USD 15,000.00 (€ 13,364.22) - well above the upper estimate of USD 7,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Clementine Hunter - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Clementine In Her Flower Garden, 1984, which sold at auction in January 2021 for USD 32,500.00 (€ 26,782.04).

Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
