Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney (1875-1942)
Male Nude Holding a Rock
inscribed and dated 'Gertrude V. Whitney/1913' and stamped 'Cire/C. Valsuani/pardue (along the base)
bronze with dark brown patina
19¼ in. (48.9 cm.) high, on a marble base, 3¾ (9.5 cm.) high

Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%

This artwork by Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in March 2003. In the Fine American Paintings, Drawings and Sculpture auction, the work Male Nude Holding a Rock sold for USD 13,145.00 (€ 12,059.63) - well above the upper estimate of USD 6,000.00. 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).

Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen

Dieses Kunstwerk von Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney erzielte im März 2003 bei Christies in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Fine American Paintings, Drawings and Sculpture wurde die Arbeit Male Nude Holding a Rock für USD 13.145,00 (€ 12.059,63) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 6.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit 'Wallflower, A Portrait of Barbara Whitney' beobachtet, die im Dezember 2002 für USD 38.240,00 (€ 36.471,15) versteigert wurde.
