Upper estimate price exceeded by 58 %.
The work Sunset at Williamsport by George Benjamin Luks was sold in the American Art auction at Christies in New York in May 2016. It achieved a price of USD 47,500.00 (€ 42,658.28), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 58%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by George Benjamin Luks achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Lily Williams in May 2010 with an auction result of USD 1,874,500.00 (€ 1,515,482.25).

Die Arbeit Sunset at Williamsport von George Benjamin Luks wurde im Mai 2016 in der Auktion American Art bei Christies in New York versteigert. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von USD 47.500,00 (€ 42.658,28) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 58%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von George Benjamin Luks erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Lily Williams im Mai 2010 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 1.874.500,00 (€ 1.515.482,25).
