A top price for Andrew Wyeth

When the work Day Dream by Andrew Wyeth was auctioned at Christies in New York in November last year, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 3,000,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than seven times as high at USD 23,290,000.00 (€ 22,561,270.95). This high result makes Day Dream the most expensive artwork by Andrew Wyeth that we have observed at auctions so far.

Ein Spitzenpreis für Andrew Wyeth

Als die Arbeit Day Dream von Andrew Wyeth im November letzten Jahres bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 3.000.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 23.290.000,00 (€ 22.561.270,95) mehr als siebenmal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Day Dream zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Andrew Wyeth, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
