A top price for Leonard Howard Reedy

When the work Wild Horses in a Canyon by Leonard Howard Reedy was auctioned at Christies in New York in February 2001, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 1,500.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 5,875.00 (€ 6,377.55). This high result makes Wild Horses in a Canyon the most expensive artwork by Leonard Howard Reedy that we have observed at auctions so far.

Ein Spitzenpreis für Leonard Howard Reedy

Als die Arbeit Wild Horses in a Canyon von Leonard Howard Reedy im Februar 2001 bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 1.500,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 5.875,00 (€ 6.377,55) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Wild Horses in a Canyon zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Leonard Howard Reedy, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
