Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Gerald Geerlings could be acquired at Christies in New York in May 2006 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Prints and Multiples auction, the work Black Magic (Czestochowski 6) changed hands for USD 3,840.00 (€ 2,992.29) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 4,000.00 – 6,000.00.
