This artwork by Jan Groover achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in New York in July 2020. In the Photographs from the Ginny Williams Collection auction, the work without title sold for USD 8,750.00 (€ 7,431.63) - well above the upper estimate of USD 5,000.00.

Oberer Schätzpreis um 75 % übertroffen
