This artwork by Jonathan Seliger achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in New York in September 2009. In the Contemporary Art auction, the work The Pinky Ring sold for USD 12,500.00 (€ 8,544.09) - well above the upper estimate of USD 7,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Jonathan Seliger - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Wedding Present (Tiffany & Co. Shopping Bag), which sold at auction in November 2015 for USD 25,000.00 (€ 23,669.76).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 79 % übertroffen
