Auction result well in line with expectations
The work The Entombment by Bob Thompson was sold in the Post-War and Contemporary Art Morning Session auction at Christies in New York in November 2019. The price achieved of USD 106,250.00 (€ 96,424.36) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 80,000.00 – 120,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Bob Thompson - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Meeting Man, which sold at auction in May this year for USD 327,600.00 (€ 307,490.14).
