Auction result well in line with expectations

The work “Up with your hands or we’ll make this a shambles, now that we’ve started” by Newell Convers Wyeth was auctioned at Christies in New York in May 2017. The price achieved of USD 427,500.00 (€ 380,473.48) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 350,000.00 – 500,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Newell Convers Wyeth achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work "Hands Up!" in November 2016 with an auction result of USD 4,951,500.00 (€ 4,680,941.58).
