Upper estimate price exceeded by 26 %.
The work Sniped by George Wesley Bellows was sold in the Graphic Century auction at Christies in New York in November this year. It achieved a price of USD 2,520.00 (€ 2,310.23), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 26%. 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).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 26 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit Sniped von George Wesley Bellows wurde im November diesen Jahres in der Auktion Graphic Century bei Christies in New York versteigert. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von USD 2.520,00 (€ 2.310,23) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 26%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von George Wesley Bellows erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Evening Swell im Dezember 2013 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 7.893.000,00 (€ 5.728.282,17).
