In October 2015 Sothebys in New York held the auction American Paintings, Drawings and Sculpture, which included the work I Must Be Going To Waist (Waisted Effort) by Gillette Elvgren. The »bidding war« ended at USD 52,500.00 (€ 47,545.73), 31% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Gillette Elvgren - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Fascination, which sold at auction in October 2015 for USD 125,000.00 (€ 113,204.13).

Im Oktober 2015 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion American Paintings, Drawings and Sculpture durch, in der auch die Arbeit I Must Be Going To Waist (Waisted Effort) von Gillette Elvgren zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 52.500,00 (€ 47.545,73) und damit 31% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von Gillette Elvgren mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Fascination beobachtet, die im Oktober 2015 für USD 125.000,00 (€ 113.204,13) versteigert wurde.
