Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
The work Portrait of a Geisha, holding a smoking pipe by Huguette Clark was worth USD 9,375.00 (€ 6,848.06) to a buyer in June 2014. This price was achieved in the auction An American Dynasty: The Clark Family Treasures at Christies in New York and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of USD 3,000.00 many times over.
