Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In November this year Bonhams in Skinner Marlborough, Massachusetts held the auction Dance of Death, which included the work The Mirror by George Tooker. The »bidding war« ended at USD 1,408.00 (€ 1,290.80), 17% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by George Tooker achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Coney Island in December 2002 with an auction result of USD 427,500.00 (€ 407,725.32).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im November diesen Jahres führte Bonhams in Skinner Marlborough, Massachusetts die Auktion Dance of Death durch, in der auch die Arbeit The Mirror von George Tooker zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 1.408,00 (€ 1.290,80) und damit 17% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von George Tooker erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Coney Island im Dezember 2002 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 427.500,00 (€ 407.725,32).
