Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
The work Harbor Skyline by Howard Cook was worth USD 21,250.00 (€ 15,999.10) to a buyer in July 2013. This price was achieved in the auction First Impression Prints and Multiples at Christies in New York and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of USD 7,000.00 many times over. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Howard Cook - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Fog Patterns #2, which sold at auction in March 2019 for USD 47,500.00 (€ 42,304.95).
