This artwork by James Weeks achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in March 2008. In the Christie's Interiors auction, the work Studio Still Life - # 2 Skowhegan sold for USD 17,500.00 (€ 11,072.45) - well above the upper estimate of USD 9,000.00. 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).

Dieses Kunstwerk von James Weeks erzielte im März 2008 bei Christies in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Christie's Interiors wurde die Arbeit Studio Still Life - # 2 Skowhegan für USD 17.500,00 (€ 11.072,45) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 9.000,00.
