Despite a disappointment, a good price for Joseph Stella

In November 2018 a collector was able to acquire the work Tree of My Life by Joseph Stella for USD 5,937,500.00 (€ 5,243,751.66). This price was achieved in the auction An American Place | The Barney A. Ebsworth Collection Evening Sale at Christies in New York and was even below the estimate range of USD 6,000,000.00 – 8,000,000.00 set by the auction house. Despite this disappointing result, Tree of My Life is the most expensive artwork by Joseph Stella that we have observed at auction so far.

Trotz dieses enttäuschenden Ergebnisses ist Tree of My Life das teuerste Kunstwerk von Joseph Stella, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
