Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%

This artwork by John F. Kennedy achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in New York in December 2018. In the Lady Blue Eyes: Property of Barbara and Frank Sinatra auction, the work Profiles In Courage. New York: Harper & Brothers, 1955 (But A Later Edition, Ca. 1959) sold for USD 16,250.00 (€ 14,184.71) - well above the upper estimate of USD 8,000.00. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by John F. Kennedy; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Inaugural Addresses Of The Presidents Of The United States From George Washington 1798 To John F. Kennedy 1961. Washington, D. C.: United States Government Printing Office, 1961 sold at auction in January 2018 with the realized price of USD 20,000.00 (€ 16,092.69).

Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
