In September 2008 Christies in New York held the auction First Open Post -War and Contemporary Art, which included this untitled work by Günter Umberg. The »bidding war« ended at USD 10,625.00 (€ 7,545.63), 33% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Günter Umberg - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work without title, which sold at auction in September 2008 for USD 27,500.00 (€ 19,529.86).

Im September 2008 führte Christies in New York die Auktion First Open Post -War and Contemporary Art durch, in der auch diese Arbeit ohne Titel von Günter Umberg zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 10.625,00 (€ 7.545,63) und damit 33% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von Günter Umberg mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit ohne Titel beobachtet, die im September 2008 für USD 27.500,00 (€ 19.529,86) versteigert wurde.
