Oberer Schätzpreis um 40 % übertroffen

Die Arbeit Zinnias von Helen Torr kam im Dezember 2008 bei Christies in New York zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von USD 35.000,00 (€ 25.145,48) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 40%. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Helen Torr auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Imagined im Mai letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 239.400,00 (€ 223.091,98).
