This artwork by Bill Blass achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in December 2020. In the American Muse: The Collection of Nina Griscom auction, the work Five sketches of dresses sold for USD 3,500.00 (€ 2,861.82) - well above the upper estimate of USD 2,000.00. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Bill Blass; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Portfolio Of 80 Rough Marker Sketches On Tracing Paper sold at auction in April 2015 with the realized price of USD 6,250.00 (€ 5,599.35).
