Upper estimate price exceeded by 70 %.
In May 2021 Christies in New York held the auction American Art, which included the work The Wave by Fairfield Porter. The »bidding war« ended at USD 118,750.00 (€ 97,383.96), 70% above the upper estimate. 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 70 % übertroffen
Im Mai 2021 führte Christies in New York die Auktion American Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit The Wave von Fairfield Porter zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 118.750,00 (€ 97.383,96) und damit 70% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. 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).
