Auction result well in line with expectations
In September 2008 Sothebys in New York held the auction American Paintings, Drawings and Sculpture, which included the work Kerteminde, Denmark by William Henry Johnson. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 40,000.00 – 60,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 40,625.00 (€ 28,850.93) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Other works by William Henry Johnson have already achieved higher auction prices, for example, in September 2019 the work Untitled (Uninhabited War Scene) was auctioned for USD 56,250.00 (€ 51,581.84).
