Auction result well in line with expectations
The work King Kong Dog by George Rodrigue was sold in the Contemporary Art Online auction at Sothebys in New York in March 2019. The price achieved of USD 60,000.00 (€ 53,437.83) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 50,000.00 – 70,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by George Rodrigue - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work I Hear The Blues, I See The Blues, I Sing The Blues, which sold at auction in March 2009 for USD 170,500.00 (€ 128,572.51).
