GEORGE WESLEY BELLOWS (1882-1925) Business-Men's Class lithograph, on laid tissue-thin Japon paper, 1916, signed and titled in pencil, numbered 'No. 48', from the edition of 64, with wide margins, framed Image: 11 5 ⁄ 8 x 17 1 ⁄ 8 in. (293 x 438 mm.) Sheet: 16 1 ⁄ 2 x 20 7 ⁄ 8 in. ( 419 x 530 mm.)
Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
The work Business-Men's Class by George Wesley Bellows was worth USD 10,080.00 (€ 9,299.75) to a buyer in August this year. This price was achieved in the auction Tales of the City: New York Prints and Photographs of the Early 20th Century at Christies in Sydney and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of USD 3,000.00 many times over. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by George Wesley Bellows achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Evening Swell in December 2013 with an auction result of USD 7,893,000.00 (€ 5,728,282.17).
