This artwork by Gertrude Abercrombie achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in August 2018. In the Horizon | Post-War and Contemporary Art auction, the work A Dark Day sold for USD 27,500.00 (€ 23,715.07) - well above the upper estimate of USD 15,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Gertrude Abercrombie achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Giraffe in May 2021 with an auction result of USD 365,400.00 (€ 299,655.57).

Dieses Kunstwerk von Gertrude Abercrombie erzielte im August 2018 bei Christies in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Horizon | Post-War and Contemporary Art wurde die Arbeit A Dark Day für USD 27.500,00 (€ 23.715,07) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 15.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Gertrude Abercrombie erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Giraffe im Mai 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 365.400,00 (€ 299.655,57).
