The work Pair Of `Tulip' Stools From The `Pedestal' Collection by Eero Saarinen was worth GBP 3,750.00 (€ 4,672.34) to a buyer in May 2012. This price was achieved in the auction The Gunter Sachs Collection Day Auction at Sothebys in London and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of GBP 300.00 many times over.
