Description
GREGORY GILLESPIE (1936-2011) Self-Portrait with Bread and Chakras oil, graphite, wood and alkyd on panel 89 x 80 in. (226.1 x 203.2 cm.) Executed circa 1987-1988.
Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
The work Self-Portrait with Bread and Chakras by Gregory Gillespie was worth USD 56,700.00 (€ 53,000.56) to a buyer in December last year. This price was achieved in the auction First Open | Post-War & Contemporary Art at Christies in New York and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of USD 15,000.00 many times over. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Gregory Gillespie; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Portrait of a Painter (formerly titled Dark Painter) sold at auction in May 2001 with the realized price of USD 52,875.00 (€ 62,536.96).
