This artwork by Chaim Gross achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in New York in April 2021. In the Joseph H. Hirshhorn: Collector for a Nation, Part II auction, the work Tumbler sold for USD 3,780.00 (€ 3,142.14) - well above the upper estimate of USD 2,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Chaim Gross achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Unicyclist in November 2019 with an auction result of USD 37,500.00 (€ 34,032.13).

Dieses Kunstwerk von Chaim Gross erzielte im April 2021 bei Sothebys in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Joseph H. Hirshhorn: Collector for a Nation, Part II wurde die Arbeit Tumbler für USD 3.780,00 (€ 3.142,14) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 2.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Chaim Gross erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Unicyclist im November 2019 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 37.500,00 (€ 34.032,13).
