Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
The work Green Apples on Blue Cloth by Walt Kuhn was worth USD 93,750.00 (€ 83,060.16) to a buyer in November 2021. This price was achieved in the auction American Art at Christies in New York and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of USD 30,000.00 many times over. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Walt Kuhn achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Chico in a Silk Hat in November 2021 with an auction result of USD 1,590,000.00 (€ 1,408,700.27).
