Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In March last year Sothebys in New York held the auction Modern Discoveries, which included the work Lose Weight Easier ... Feel Better! by Norman Rockwell. Here, the upper estimate of USD 90,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for USD 100,800.00 (€ 90,868.12). 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 leicht übertroffen
Im März letzten Jahres führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion Modern Discoveries durch, in der auch die Arbeit Lose Weight Easier ... Feel Better! von Norman Rockwell zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von USD 90.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für USD 100.800,00 (€ 90.868,12) einen neuen Besitzer. 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).
