This artwork by Ralston Crawford achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in September 2011. In the Fine American Paintings, Drawings and Sculpture auction, the work U.S.S. Pensacola sold for USD 22,500.00 (€ 16,729.87) - well above the upper estimate of USD 12,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Ralston Crawford achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Flour Mill #2 in December 2005 with an auction result of USD 654,400.00 (€ 552,609.36).

Dieses Kunstwerk von Ralston Crawford erzielte im September 2011 bei Christies in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Fine American Paintings, Drawings and Sculpture wurde die Arbeit U.S.S. Pensacola für USD 22.500,00 (€ 16.729,87) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 12.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Ralston Crawford erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Flour Mill #2 im Dezember 2005 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 654.400,00 (€ 552.609,36).
