Auction result misses estimated price range
In November 2021 a collector was able to acquire the work Mr. Campbell, The Minister of Essendean (With that he prayed a little while aloud, and in affecting terms, for a young man setting out into the world) by N. C. Wyeth for USD 189,000.00 (€ 167,449.28). This price was achieved in the auction American Art at Sothebys in New York and was even below the estimate range of USD 300,000.00 – 500,000.00 set by the auction house. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by N. C. Wyeth achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Portrait Of A Farmer (Pennsylvania Farmer) in May 2018 with an auction result of USD 5,985,900.00 (€ 5,129,305.91).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im November 2021 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit Mr. Campbell, The Minister of Essendean (With that he prayed a little while aloud, and in affecting terms, for a young man setting out into the world) von N. C. Wyeth für USD 189.000,00 (€ 167.449,28) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion American Art bei Sothebys in New York erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von USD 300.000,00 – 500.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von N. C. Wyeth erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Portrait Of A Farmer (Pennsylvania Farmer) im Mai 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 5.985.900,00 (€ 5.129.305,91).
