Upper estimate price exceeded by 34 %.

In April this year Christies in New York held the auction Modern American Art, which included the work Spring Thaw, Greenland by Rockwell Kent. The »bidding war« ended at USD 107,100.00 (€ 97,010.87), 34% above the upper estimate. Admittedly, works by Rockwell Kent have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Gray Day in November 2016 with an auction result of USD 852,500.00 (€ 805,917.94).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 34 % übertroffen

Im April diesen Jahres führte Christies in New York die Auktion Modern American Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Spring Thaw, Greenland von Rockwell Kent zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 107.100,00 (€ 97.010,87) und damit 34% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Rockwell Kent auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Gray Day im November 2016 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 852.500,00 (€ 805.917,94).
