Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by John Steuart Curry achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in February 2006. In the Prints and Multiples auction, the work Danbury Fair (Cole 8; Czestochowski 8) sold for USD 6,600.00 (€ 5,534.59) - well above the upper estimate of USD 3,000.00. 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 mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von John Steuart Curry erzielte im Februar 2006 bei Christies in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Prints and Multiples wurde die Arbeit Danbury Fair (Cole 8; Czestochowski 8) für USD 6.600,00 (€ 5.534,59) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 3.000,00. 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).
