A top price for Winthrop Chandler - as previously expected
The work A Portrait of Jonathan Devotion by Winthrop Chandler was sold in the Important American Furniture, Folk Art, Prints And Decoys auction at Christies in New York in January 2008. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 15,000.00 – 25,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 17,500.00 (€ 11,791.66) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Even if this result could not surprise positively, A Portrait of Jonathan Devotion is the most expensive artwork by Winthrop Chandler that we have observed at auctions so far.
