This artwork by Gaston Bertrand achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in Amsterdam in April 2018. In the Post-War and Contemporary Art auction, the work Composition Verticale ? 186 (Vertical Composition ? 186) sold for EUR 10,625.00 - well above the upper estimate of EUR 6,000.00. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Gaston Bertrand; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Rouge Bleu et Vert #317 sold at auction in March 2007 with the realized price of USD 24,000.00 (€ 17,945.27).
