Auction result misses estimated price range
In November 2021 a collector was able to acquire the work It's the Cream of Kentucky, It's the Favorite of the World (Portrait of Hunter Sniffing Drink) by Norman Rockwell for USD 22,680.00 (€ 20,093.91). This price was achieved in the auction American Art at Sothebys in New York and was even below the estimate range of USD 30,000.00 – 50,000.00 set by the auction house. 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
Im November 2021 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit It's the Cream of Kentucky, It's the Favorite of the World (Portrait of Hunter Sniffing Drink) von Norman Rockwell für USD 22.680,00 (€ 20.093,91) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion American Art bei Sothebys in New York erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von USD 30.000,00 – 50.000,00. 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).
