Auction result well in line with expectations

The work Medicine Man by John Steuart Curry was sold in the Important American Paintings, Drawings and Sculpture auction at Christies in New York in December 2004. It changed hands for a price of USD 57,360.00 (€ 42,369.63) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of USD 40,000.00 – 60,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by John Steuart Curry - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Preliminary Study for a Mural: Oklahoma Land Rush, which sold at auction in May 2003 for USD 175,500.00 (€ 149,158.59).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Die Arbeit Medicine Man von John Steuart Curry wurde im Dezember 2004 in der Auktion Important American Paintings, Drawings and Sculpture bei Christies in New York versteigert.
