Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by George McNeil achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in January 2009. In the Open House auction, the work Dingbat Disco sold for USD 20,000.00 (€ 15,620.12) - well above the upper estimate of USD 9,000.00. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by George McNeil; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Holiday sold at auction in January 2008 with the realized price of USD 27,400.00 (€ 18,462.37).
