This artwork by Norman Rockwell achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in April this year. In the Modern American Art auction, the work Having a Smoke ("It's Toasted for 45 Minutes") sold for USD 170,100.00 (€ 154,076.09) - well above the upper estimate of USD 60,000.00. 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).

Dieses Kunstwerk von Norman Rockwell erzielte im April diesen Jahres bei Christies in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Modern American Art wurde die Arbeit Having a Smoke ("It's Toasted for 45 Minutes") für USD 170.100,00 (€ 154.076,09) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 60.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Norman Rockwell erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Saying Grace im Dezember 2013 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 46.085.000,00 (€ 33.445.823,35).
