Auction result well in line with expectations
In March 2012 Sothebys in New York held the auction Contemporary Art, which included the work Argives Versus Trojans by George McNeil. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 12,000.00 – 18,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 12,500.00 (€ 9,374.53) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Other works by George McNeil have already achieved higher auction prices, for example, in January 2008 the work Holiday was auctioned for USD 27,400.00 (€ 18,462.37).
