The work Volumetric Surface Series #4 by Jack Whitten was sold in the Post-War to Present auction at Christies in New York in September last year. It achieved a price of USD 47,880.00 (€ 48,942.04), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 37%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Jack Whitten achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Special Checking in March 2019 with an auction result of USD 2,660,000.00 (€ 2,369,077.31).

Die Arbeit Volumetric Surface Series #4 von Jack Whitten wurde im September letzten Jahres in der Auktion Post-War to Present bei Christies in New York versteigert. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von USD 47.880,00 (€ 48.942,04) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 37%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Jack Whitten erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Special Checking im März 2019 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 2.660.000,00 (€ 2.369.077,31).
