In September 2005 Christies in New York held the auction Prints and Multiples, which included the work Baptism in Big Stranger Creek (Cole 13) by John Steuart Curry. The »bidding war« ended at USD 4,200.00 (€ 3,483.16), 40% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by John Steuart Curry achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Preliminary Study for a Mural: Oklahoma Land Rush in May 2003 with an auction result of USD 175,500.00 (€ 149,158.59).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 40 % übertroffen
Im September 2005 führte Christies in New York die Auktion Prints and Multiples durch, in der auch die Arbeit Baptism in Big Stranger Creek (Cole 13) von John Steuart Curry zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 4.200,00 (€ 3.483,16) und damit 40% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von John Steuart Curry erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Preliminary Study for a Mural: Oklahoma Land Rush im Mai 2003 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 175.500,00 (€ 149.158,59).
