Auction result well in line with expectations
In May 2018 Sothebys in New York held the auction American Art, which included the work "We Must Be In The Dungeons" Dick Remarked by N. C. Wyeth. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 450,000.00 – 650,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 495,000.00 (€ 424,164.52) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. 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 im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Mai 2018 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion American Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit "We Must Be In The Dungeons" Dick Remarked von N. C. Wyeth zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 450.000,00 – 650.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 495.000,00 (€ 424.164,52) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. 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).
