Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%

This artwork by George Tooker achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in April this year. In the Modern American Art auction, the work White Curtain sold for USD 214,200.00 (€ 194,021.74) - well above the upper estimate of USD 80,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by George Tooker - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Coney Island, which sold at auction in December 2002 for USD 427,500.00 (€ 407,725.32).

Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen

Dieses Kunstwerk von George Tooker erzielte im April diesen Jahres bei Christies in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Modern American Art wurde die Arbeit White Curtain für USD 214.200,00 (€ 194.021,74) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 80.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von George Tooker mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Coney Island beobachtet, die im Dezember 2002 für USD 427.500,00 (€ 407.725,32) versteigert wurde.
