Auction result well in line with expectations
In May this year Christies in New York held the auction American Art, which included the work Study of the Brooklyn Bridge (Study for 'New York Interpreted: The Bridge') by Joseph Stella. The price achieved of USD 50,400 (€ 46,967) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been given by the auction house as USD 40,000 - 60,000. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Joseph Stella achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Tree of My Life in November 2018 with an auction result of USD 5,937,500 (€ 5,243,752).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Mai diesen Jahres führte Christies in New York die Auktion American Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Study of the Brooklyn Bridge (Study for 'New York Interpreted: The Bridge') von Joseph Stella zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 50.400 (€ 46.967) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 40.000 – 60.000 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Joseph Stella erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Tree of My Life im November 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 5.937.500 (€ 5.243.752).
