Description
Acquired directly from the artist
Sold at the lower estimate price
In January 2021 Christies in New York held the auction Outsider and Vernacular Art, which included the work The River of Life From the Sun of God #14,448, 1990; Future of a Crowded World #14,450, 1990; Swinging Bridge #14,454, 1990 by Howard Finster. The result of USD 3,000.00 (€ 2,472.19) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of USD 3,000.00 – 5,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Howard Finster achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Traveling Show: Presentation Piece Detailing the Life of Howard Finster, 1988 in January 2019 with an auction result of USD 43,750.00 (€ 38,196.26).
Zuschlag beim unteren Schätzpreis
Im Januar 2021 führte Christies in New York die Auktion Outsider and Vernacular Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit The River of Life From the Sun of God #14,448, 1990; Future of a Crowded World #14,450, 1990; Swinging Bridge #14,454, 1990 von Howard Finster zur Versteigerung kam. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von USD 3.000,00 (€ 2.472,19) entsprach exakt dem unteren Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 3.000,00 – 5.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Howard Finster erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Traveling Show: Presentation Piece Detailing the Life of Howard Finster, 1988 im Januar 2019 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 43.750,00 (€ 38.196,26).
