Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
The work Portrait I by John Graham Coughtry was worth USD 27,500.00 (€ 25,102.69) to a buyer in April 2020. This price was achieved in the auction Joseph H. Hirshhorn: Collector for A Nation - An Online Sale at Sothebys in New York and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of USD 7,000.00 many times over. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by John Graham Coughtry; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Two Figures Viii sold at auction in December 2009 with the realized price of CAD 60,000.00 (€ 40,018.14).
