The work Comfort In Safety by Norman Rockwell was auctioned at Christies in New York in November 2015. It achieved a price of USD 785,000.00 (€ 743,230.45), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 31%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Norman Rockwell achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Saying Grace in December 2013 with an auction result of USD 46,085,000.00 (€ 33,445,823.35).
