Upper estimate price exceeded by 33 %.
The work Watch Tower In Italy by Frederic Church was sold in the American Art auction at Sothebys in New York in May 2021. The »bidding war« ended at USD 239,400.00 (€ 196,326.06), 33% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Frederic Church achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Valley Of Santa Isabel, New Granada in May 2018 with an auction result of USD 5,026,250.00 (€ 4,306,983.72).

Die Arbeit Watch Tower In Italy von Frederic Church wurde im Mai 2021 in der Auktion American Art bei Sothebys in New York versteigert. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 239.400,00 (€ 196.326,06) und damit 33% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Frederic Church erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Valley Of Santa Isabel, New Granada im Mai 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 5.026.250,00 (€ 4.306.983,72).
