Auction result well in line with expectations

The work The Jester by Norman Rockwell was sold in the American Art auction at Sothebys in New York in November 2021. The price achieved of USD 1,169,500.00 (€ 1,036,147.78) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 1,000,000.00 – 1,500,000.00. 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 im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Die Arbeit The Jester von Norman Rockwell wurde im November 2021 in der Auktion American Art bei Sothebys in New York versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 1.169.500,00 (€ 1.036.147,78) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 1.000.000,00 – 1.500.000,00 angegeben worden. 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).
