The work Waiting For Breakfast by Gérard Portielje was sold in the The House Sale auction at Christies in New York in December 2007. It achieved a price of USD 20,000.00 (€ 13,695.82), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 25%. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Gérard Portielje - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The flirtation, which sold at auction in October 2000 for NLG 111,169.00 (€ 53,357.45).
