Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Norman Rockwell achieved an unexpectedly high price at Bonhams in Los Angeles in June 2021. In the Prints & MultiplesFeaturing the Arthur N. Gilbert Collection auction, the work Huckleberry Finn sold for USD 4,845.00 (€ 4,089.30) - well above the upper estimate of USD 2,000.00. 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).

Dieses Kunstwerk von Norman Rockwell erzielte im Juni 2021 bei Bonhams in Los Angeles einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Prints & MultiplesFeaturing the Arthur N. Gilbert Collection wurde die Arbeit Huckleberry Finn für USD 4.845,00 (€ 4.089,30) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 2.000,00. 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).
