This artwork by John Philip Falter achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in November 2015. In the American Art auction, the work Snowy Ambush sold for USD 221,000.00 (€ 209,240.67) - well above the upper estimate of USD 100,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by John Philip Falter - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Young Sammy Sixgun, which sold at auction in November 2017 for USD 516,500.00 (€ 434,106.57).
