The work Greek-American Alliance by Howard Chandler Christy was sold in the American Art auction at Christies in New York in May 2015. The »bidding war« ended at USD 93,750.00 (€ 85,273.79), 56% above the upper estimate. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Howard Chandler Christy; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Nudes At The Beach sold at auction in February 2017 with the realized price of GBP 75,000.00 (€ 87,777.83).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 56 % übertroffen
