Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Conversation in a Crowd by Guy Pène du Bois was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in November 2021. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 60,000.00 – 80,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 60,480.00 (€ 53,583.77) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Admittedly, works by Guy Pène du Bois have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work The Crowd [Self-Portrait|AID239202] in November 2012 with an auction result of USD 602,500.00 (€ 463,105.30).
