Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Blanket Coverage (And Now's the Time to See if Frozen Assets Can Be Thawed) by Gillette Elvgren was sold in the American Art Online auction at Christies in New York in November 2019. Here, the upper estimate of USD 50,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for USD 52,500.00 (€ 47,644.98). 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).
