Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Prefabricated Dymaxion Bathroom, from Inventions: Twelve Around One by Buckminster Fuller was sold in the Prints & MultiplesSummer Splash auction at Bonhams in New York in August this year. The price achieved of USD 512.00 (€ 472.37) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 400.00 – 600.00.
