This artwork by Joseph Henry Sharp achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in May 2021. In the American Art auction, the work Spring, The Desert And Mt. San Jacinto At Palm Springs, California sold for USD 35,000.00 (€ 28,702.64) - well above the upper estimate of USD 18,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Joseph Henry Sharp achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Medicine Teepee in May 2008 with an auction result of USD 1,497,000.00 (€ 962,082.26).

Dieses Kunstwerk von Joseph Henry Sharp erzielte im Mai 2021 bei Christies in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion American Art wurde die Arbeit Spring, The Desert And Mt. San Jacinto At Palm Springs, California für USD 35.000,00 (€ 28.702,64) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 18.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Joseph Henry Sharp erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Medicine Teepee im Mai 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 1.497.000,00 (€ 962.082,26).
