Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
The work Schooner "Loo Choo" In A Calm Sea by Fitz Henry Lane was worth USD 312,500.00 (€ 278,247.71) to a buyer in June 2020. This price was achieved in the auction American Art at Sothebys in New York and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of USD 80,000.00 many times over. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Fitz Henry Lane achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Golden Rule in May 2000 with an auction result of USD 3,966,000.00 (€ 4,251,715.27).
