Auction result well in line with expectations
In May 2018 Christies in New York held the auction American Art, which included the work Breaking the Log Jam by Newell Convers Wyeth. The price achieved of USD 732,500.00 (€ 627,677.81) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 600,000.00 – 800,000.00. Admittedly, works by Newell Convers Wyeth have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work "Hands Up!" in November 2016 with an auction result of USD 4,951,500.00 (€ 4,680,941.58).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Mai 2018 führte Christies in New York die Auktion American Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Breaking the Log Jam von Newell Convers Wyeth zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 732.500,00 (€ 627.677,81) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 600.000,00 – 800.000,00 angegeben worden. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Newell Convers Wyeth auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit "Hands Up!" im November 2016 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 4.951.500,00 (€ 4.680.941,58).
