Norman Rockwell

The Young Graduate (Big Day) and The Young Graduate: Two works

Found at Phillips, New York Auction
20th Century & Contemporary Art Day Sale, Morning Session, Lot 115
24. Jun - 24. Jun 2021
Estimate: 50.000 - 70.000 USD
Price realised: 94.500 USD
The first: signed “Norman Rockwell” lower right of image
pencil and gouache on paper
image 9 1/2 x 9 in. (24.1 x 22.9 cm)
sheet 12 1/4 x 11 1/8 in. (31.1 x 28.3 cm)
Executed in 1959.

Upper estimate price exceeded by 35 %.

The work The Young Graduate (Big Day) and The Young Graduate: Two works by Norman Rockwell was auctioned at Phillips in New York in June 2021. It achieved a price of USD 94,500.00 (€ 79,760.30), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 35%. 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 35 % übertroffen

Die Arbeit The Young Graduate (Big Day) and The Young Graduate: Two works von Norman Rockwell kam im Juni 2021 bei Phillips in New York zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von USD 94.500,00 (€ 79.760,30) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 35%. 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).
