Auction result well in line with expectations
In March 2021 Sothebys in New York held the auction Contemporary Art, which included the work August III, 1959 by John Harrison Levee. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 15,000.00 – 20,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 15,120.00 (€ 12,875.76) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Other works by John Harrison Levee have already achieved higher auction prices, for example, in October 2021 the work without title was auctioned for USD 16,380.00 (€ 14,179.36).
