This artwork by Edward Kienholz achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in New York in July 2020. In the Contemporary Art | New York auction, the work America My Hometown sold for USD 56,250.00 (€ 47,774.76) - well above the upper estimate of USD 30,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Edward Kienholz - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Future as an Afterthought, which sold at auction in May 2003 for USD 141,900.00 (€ 120,601.73).

Dieses Kunstwerk von Edward Kienholz erzielte im Juli 2020 bei Sothebys in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Contemporary Art | New York wurde die Arbeit America My Hometown für USD 56.250,00 (€ 47.774,76) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 30.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Edward Kienholz mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The Future as an Afterthought beobachtet, die im Mai 2003 für USD 141.900,00 (€ 120.601,73) versteigert wurde.
