Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Night On The El Train by Edward Hopper was auctioned at Christies in New York in April 2021. The price achieved of USD 187,500.00 (€ 155,860.35) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 150,000.00 – 250,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Edward Hopper achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Chop Suey in November 2018 with an auction result of USD 91,875,000.00 (€ 81,140,157.20).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Night On The El Train von Edward Hopper kam im April 2021 bei Christies in New York zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 187.500,00 (€ 155.860,35) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 150.000,00 – 250.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Edward Hopper erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Chop Suey im November 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 91.875.000,00 (€ 81.140.157,20).
