Sold at the upper estimate price
The work Cityscape by Norman Lewis was sold in the American Art auction at Christies in New York in May 2017. The auction ended at the price of USD 50,000.00 (€ 44,499.82), which exactly corresponded to the upper end of the estimated price range of USD 30,000.00 – 50,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Norman Lewis achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Ritual in November 2019 with an auction result of USD 2,780,000.00 (€ 2,522,914.97).
Zuschlag beim oberen Schätzpreis
Die Arbeit Cityscape von Norman Lewis wurde im Mai 2017 in der Auktion American Art bei Christies in New York versteigert. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von USD 50.000,00 (€ 44.499,82) entsprach exakt dem oberen Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 30.000,00 – 50.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Norman Lewis erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Ritual im November 2019 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 2.780.000,00 (€ 2.522.914,97).
