The work Jack Kerouac on the Fire Escape by Allen Ginsberg was auctioned at Phillips in New York in October 2012. It achieved a price of USD 11,875.00 (€ 9,164.22), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 48%. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Allen Ginsberg - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Selected images of Jack Kerouac, William Burroughs, Neal Cassady and Peter Orlovsky, 1953-1957, which sold at auction in October 2008 for USD 35,000.00 (€ 27,598.17).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 48 % übertroffen
