Auction result well in line with expectations
In November 2016 Christies in New York held the auction Post-War & Contemporary Art Morning Sale, which included the work Berkshire Landscape, Boat Landing by James Weeks. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 30,000.00 – 40,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 31,250.00 (€ 29,542.45) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Other works by James Weeks have already achieved higher auction prices, for example, in November 2019 the work Bay Excursion #2 was auctioned for USD 43,750.00 (€ 39,704.15).
