Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Green Idleness by Willard Leroy Metcalf was auctioned at Christies in New York in August 2020. The price achieved of USD 237,500.00 (€ 198,977.88) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 200,000.00 – 300,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Willard Leroy Metcalf - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work October Festival, which sold at auction in May 2014 for USD 545,000.00 (€ 399,560.12).
