Upper estimate price exceeded by 68 %.
In March 2021 Sothebys in New York held the auction Two Centuries: American Art, which included the work Sound Dynamics by Emil Bisttram. The »bidding war« ended at USD 30,240.00 (€ 25,751.51), 68% above the upper estimate. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Emil Bisttram; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Storm Over Taos (Stormy Mountain Scene) sold at auction in December 2008 with the realized price of USD 68,500.00 (€ 49,213.31).
