Auction result well in line with expectations

The work The Prairie Fire by John Steuart Curry was auctioned at Christies in New York in May 2014. It changed hands for a price of USD 68,750.00 (€ 50,403.23) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of USD 50,000.00 – 70,000.00. 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 The Prairie Fire von John Steuart Curry kam im Mai 2014 bei Christies in New York zur Auktion. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von USD 68.750,00 (€ 50.403,23) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 50.000,00 – 70.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von John Steuart Curry mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Preliminary Study for a Mural: Oklahoma Land Rush beobachtet, die im Mai 2003 für USD 175.500,00 (€ 149.158,59) versteigert wurde.
