Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Norman Rockwell achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in New York in November 2007. In the American Paintings, Drawings & Sculpture auction, the work Boy In Dining Car sold for USD 241,000.00 (€ 164,079.52) - well above the upper estimate of USD 120,000.00. 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).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Norman Rockwell erzielte im November 2007 bei Sothebys in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion American Paintings, Drawings & Sculpture wurde die Arbeit Boy In Dining Car für USD 241.000,00 (€ 164.079,52) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 120.000,00. 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).
