This artwork by Charles Ephraim Burchfield achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in August 2020. In the American Art Online auction, the work Winter Afterglow sold for USD 43,750.00 (€ 36,653.82) - well above the upper estimate of USD 25,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Charles Ephraim Burchfield achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Cherry Blossom Snow in May 2018 with an auction result of USD 1,812,500.00 (€ 1,553,127.68).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 75 % übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Charles Ephraim Burchfield erzielte im August 2020 bei Christies in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion American Art Online wurde die Arbeit Winter Afterglow für USD 43.750,00 (€ 36.653,82) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 25.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Charles Ephraim Burchfield erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Cherry Blossom Snow im Mai 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 1.812.500,00 (€ 1.553.127,68).
