Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Norman Rockwell could be acquired at Christies in New York in May 2021 for an unexpectedly low price. In the American Art auction, the work A Crock Of Gold ("Mr. Rosenbaum Smiled At Them A Little Mockingly. 'I Am Trusting You,' He Said, 'With A Secret.'") changed hands for USD 32,500.00 (€ 26,652.45) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 40,000.00 – 60,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Norman Rockwell achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Saying Grace in December 2013 with an auction result of USD 46,085,000.00 (€ 33,445,823.35).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Norman Rockwell konnte im Mai 2021 bei Christies in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion American Art wechselte die Arbeit A Crock Of Gold ("Mr. Rosenbaum Smiled At Them A Little Mockingly. 'I Am Trusting You,' He Said, 'With A Secret.'") für USD 32.500,00 (€ 26.652,45) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 40.000,00 – 60.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Norman Rockwell erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Saying Grace im Dezember 2013 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 46.085.000,00 (€ 33.445.823,35).
