Auction result well in line with expectations
In November 2017 Sothebys in New York held the auction American Art, which included the work The Politician (Campaign Orator) by Joseph Christian Leyendecker. It changed hands for a price of USD 75,000.00 (€ 63,035.80) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of USD 60,000.00 – 80,000.00. Admittedly, works by Joseph Christian Leyendecker have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Carousel Ride in December 2020 with an auction result of USD 516,100.00 (€ 421,995.09).
