This artwork by Herman Rose achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in New York in March 2021. In the Two Centuries: American Art auction, the work Chimney and Skyscraper sold for USD 6,930.00 (€ 5,901.39) - well above the upper estimate of USD 2,500.00. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Herman Rose; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Flowers On A Chair sold at auction in April 2021 with the realized price of USD 8,190.00 (€ 6,807.98).

Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
