A top price for Samuel Lancaster Gerry
When the work Mount Chocorua by Samuel Lancaster Gerry was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in January 2020, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 7,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 27,500.00 (€ 24,790.41). This high result makes Mount Chocorua the most expensive artwork by Samuel Lancaster Gerry that we have observed at auctions so far.
