Upper estimate price exceeded by 33 %.
The work Sixth Avenue I by Fairfield Porter was auctioned at Christies in New York in May 2021. It achieved a price of USD 2,000.00 (€ 1,640.15), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 33%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Fairfield Porter achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Schooner II in May 2018 with an auction result of USD 1,932,500.00 (€ 1,655,955.44).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 33 % übertroffen

Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von USD 2.000,00 (€ 1.640,15) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 33%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Fairfield Porter erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Schooner II im Mai 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 1.932.500,00 (€ 1.655.955,44).
