Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Early Spring by Andrew Wyeth was sold in the Two Centuries: American Art auction at Sothebys in New York in March 2021. The price achieved of USD 94,500.00 (€ 80,473.47) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 80,000.00 – 120,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Andrew Wyeth achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Day Dream in November last year with an auction result of USD 23,290,000.00 (€ 22,561,270.95).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Early Spring von Andrew Wyeth wurde im März 2021 in der Auktion Two Centuries: American Art bei Sothebys in New York versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 94.500,00 (€ 80.473,47) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 80.000,00 – 120.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Andrew Wyeth erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Day Dream im November letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 23.290.000,00 (€ 22.561.270,95).
