Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
This work without title by Howard Finster was worth USD 4,032.00 (€ 3,461.84) to a buyer in October 2020. This price was achieved in the auction Dear Keith: Works from the Personal Collection of Keith Haring at Sothebys in New York and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of USD 1,200.00 many times over. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Howard Finster achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Traveling Show: Presentation Piece Detailing the Life of Howard Finster, 1988 in January 2019 with an auction result of USD 43,750.00 (€ 38,196.26).
