A top price for John Arnold Wheeler
When the work A Mahogany Painted Canvas Four-Panel Screen by John Arnold Wheeler was auctioned at Christies in New York in June 2001, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 12,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 42,300.00 (€ 49,917.39). This high result makes A Mahogany Painted Canvas Four-Panel Screen the most expensive artwork by John Arnold Wheeler that we have observed at auctions so far.

Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht A Mahogany Painted Canvas Four-Panel Screen zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von John Arnold Wheeler, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
