This artwork by George Tooker achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in March 2008. In the Fine American Paintings, Drawings and Sculpture auction, the work Theesance sold for USD 73,000.00 (€ 46,187.92) - well above the upper estimate of USD 25,000.00.

Dieses Kunstwerk von George Tooker erzielte im März 2008 bei Christies in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis.
