Upper estimate price exceeded by 67 %.
The work Still Life With Conch Shell by Marsden Hartley was sold in the American Art auction at Sothebys in New York in November 2019. The »bidding war« ended at USD 250,000.00 (€ 226,880.84), 67% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Marsden Hartley achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Pre-War Pageant in November 2018 with an auction result of USD 27,395,000.00 (€ 24,194,118.17).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 67 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit Still Life With Conch Shell von Marsden Hartley wurde im November 2019 in der Auktion American Art bei Sothebys in New York versteigert. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 250.000,00 (€ 226.880,84) und damit 67% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Marsden Hartley erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Pre-War Pageant im November 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 27.395.000,00 (€ 24.194.118,17).
