The work Shooting The Seven Year Itch with Billy Wilder, New York, 1954 by George Zimbel was auctioned at Christies in New York in February 2009. It achieved a price of USD 6,000.00 (€ 4,738.59), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 20%. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by George Zimbel - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Marilyn Monroe, The Seven Year Itch, 1954, which sold at auction in December 2008 for USD 13,750.00 (€ 9,878.58).

Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen

Die Arbeit Shooting The Seven Year Itch with Billy Wilder, New York, 1954 von George Zimbel kam im Februar 2009 bei Christies in New York zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von USD 6.000,00 (€ 4.738,59) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 20%. Für andere Arbeiten von George Zimbel mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Marilyn Monroe, The Seven Year Itch, 1954 beobachtet, die im Dezember 2008 für USD 13.750,00 (€ 9.878,58) versteigert wurde.
