Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Birmingham Meeting House In Spring by Horace Pippin was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in May 2019. It achieved a price of USD 300,000.00 (€ 269,082.43), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 20%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Horace Pippin achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Holy Mountain, I in November 2018 with an auction result of USD 3,255,000.00 (€ 2,874,679.86).
