Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Chateau-Thierry, Sighted And On The Top: Three Sculptures by Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney was sold in the American Art auction at Sothebys in New York in April 2017. The price achieved of USD 17,500.00 (€ 16,062.41) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 15,000.00 – 20,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work 'Wallflower, A Portrait of Barbara Whitney', which sold at auction in December 2002 for USD 38,240.00 (€ 36,471.15).
