Despite a disappointment, a good price for Joseph Stella
This work of art by Joseph Stella could be acquired at Christies in New York in November 2018 for an unexpectedly low price. In the An American Place | The Barney A. Ebsworth Collection Evening Sale auction, the work Tree of My Life changed hands for USD 5,937,500.00 (€ 5,243,751.66) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 6,000,000.00 – 8,000,000.00. Despite this disappointing result, Tree of My Life is the most expensive artwork by Joseph Stella that we have observed at auction so far.
