Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Toast Of The Town (A Frame Worth Picturing) by Gillette Elvgren was sold in the American Paintings, Drawings and Sculpture auction at Sothebys in New York in October 2015. The price achieved of USD 37,500.00 (€ 33,961.24) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 30,000.00 – 50,000.00. 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).
