Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by James Ormsbee Chapin achieved an unexpectedly high price at Bonhams in Los Angeles in August this year. In the American Art Online auction, the work Subway Readers sold for USD 6,080.00 (€ 5,609.37) - well above the upper estimate of USD 3,000.00. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by James Ormsbee Chapin; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot The Musicians sold at auction in April 2013 with the realized price of USD 8,125.00 (€ 6,170.26).
