In August 2020 Christies in New York held the auction American Art Online, which included the work Prevailing Wind by Andrew Wyeth. The »bidding war« ended at USD 93,750.00 (€ 78,543.90), 34% above the upper estimate. 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).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 34 % übertroffen
Im August 2020 führte Christies in New York die Auktion American Art Online durch, in der auch die Arbeit Prevailing Wind von Andrew Wyeth zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 93.750,00 (€ 78.543,90) und damit 34% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. 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).
