A top price for Stuart Maxwell Armfield
When the work Prayer by Stuart Maxwell Armfield was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in September 2021, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 1,200.00 but the actual price achieved was more than 12 times as high at USD 15,120.00 (€ 13,060.38). This high result makes Prayer the most expensive artwork by Stuart Maxwell Armfield that we have observed at auctions so far.

Als die Arbeit Prayer von Stuart Maxwell Armfield im September 2021 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 1.200,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 15.120,00 (€ 13.060,38) mehr als zwölfmal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Prayer zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Stuart Maxwell Armfield, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
