In April 2010 Phillips in New York held the auction The Estate of Mrs. Harry N. Abrams, which included this untitled work by George Brecht. The »bidding war« ended at USD 8,125.00 (€ 6,108.10), 63% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by George Brecht - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Exhibit 47, From Book of the Tumbler on Fire, which sold at auction in October 2016 for GBP 15,000.00 (€ 16,710.45).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 63 % übertroffen
Im April 2010 führte Phillips in New York die Auktion The Estate of Mrs. Harry N. Abrams durch, in der auch diese Arbeit ohne Titel von George Brecht zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 8.125,00 (€ 6.108,10) und damit 63% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von George Brecht mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Exhibit 47, From Book of the Tumbler on Fire beobachtet, die im Oktober 2016 für GBP 15.000,00 (€ 16.710,45) versteigert wurde.
