Auction result misses estimated price range
In December 2003 a collector was able to acquire the work I call it 'fore-play' by Francis Wilford Smith for USD 1,195.00 (€ 948.64). This price was achieved in the auction PLAYBOY AT 50 at Christies in New York and was even below the estimate range of USD 2,000.00 – 3,000.00 set by the auction house. Other works by Francis Wilford Smith have also sold for higher prices; the highest price we have seen at auction so far was achieved in December 2003 by the work ... and then I get this almost paranoid jealousy that makes me feel my wife's cheating on me with everyone at USD 2,390.00 (€ 1,897.28).
