Auction result well in line with expectations

The work “Felt” chair by Marc Newson was sold in the The Betty Lee and Aaron Stern Collection auction at Phillips in New York in December 2013. It changed hands for a price of USD 5,625.00 (€ 4,082.30) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of USD 4,000.00 – 6,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Marc Newson achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work A Lockheed Lounge in October 2017 with an auction result of GBP 1,568,750.00 (€ 1,788,682.07).
