This artwork by Charley Brown achieved an unexpectedly high price at Bonhams in February this year. In the Coast to Coast | Live OnlineAmerican Art, including The Collection of Gail Feingarten Oppenheimer auction, the work Floating Pear sold for USD 1,275.00 (€ 1,202.60) - well above the upper estimate of USD 600.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Charley Brown - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Untitled (after Johannes Vermeer's 'Lady Writing a Letter with her Maid'), which sold at auction in March last year for USD 3,570.00 (€ 3,218.25).
