Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney (1875-1942)
'Wallflower,' A Portrait of Barbara Whitney
inscribed 'Roman Bronze Works N.Y' (along the base)
bronze with dark brown patina
10½ in. (26.7 cm.) high

Upper estimate price exceeded by 71 %.

In March 2003 Christies in New York held the auction Fine American Paintings, Drawings and Sculpture, which included the work 'Wallflower,' A Portrait of Barbara Whitney by Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney. The »bidding war« ended at USD 11,950.00 (€ 10,963.30), 71% above the upper estimate. 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 71 % übertroffen

Im März 2003 führte Christies in New York die Auktion Fine American Paintings, Drawings and Sculpture durch, in der auch die Arbeit 'Wallflower,' A Portrait of Barbara Whitney von Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 11.950,00 (€ 10.963,30) und damit 71% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. 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.
