Upper estimate price exceeded by 89 %.

This artwork by Maud Lewis achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in Toronto in December 2009. In the Important Canadian Art auction, the work Three Black Cats sold for CAD 13,200.00 (€ 8,803.99) - well above the upper estimate of CAD 7,000.00. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Maud Lewis; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot A View Of Sandy Cove sold at auction in November 2012 with the realized price of CAD 20,400.00 (€ 15,788.44).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 89 % übertroffen
