This artwork by James Weeks achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in November 2003. In the POST-WAR AND CONTEMPORARY ART (MORNING SESSION) auction, the work Gardens on a Hill sold for USD 20,315.00 (€ 16,936.22) - well above the upper estimate of USD 7,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by James Weeks - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Bay Excursion #2, which sold at auction in November 2019 for USD 43,750.00 (€ 39,704.15).

Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
