In November 2007 Christies in New York held the auction Important American Paintings, Drawings and Sculpture, which included the work Mother and Child by Gari Melchers. The »bidding war« ended at USD 181,000.00 (€ 123,229.85), 51% above the upper estimate. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Gari Melchers; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Nellie Kabel sold at auction in May 2014 with the realized price of USD 221,000.00 (€ 162,023.46).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 51 % übertroffen
