This artwork by Margaret Keane achieved an unexpectedly high price at Bonhams in Los Angeles in August this year. In the American Art Online auction, the work Piano Player sold for USD 3,520.00 (€ 3,247.53) - well above the upper estimate of USD 1,800.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Margaret Keane - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Masquerade, which sold at auction in August this year for USD 12,800.00 (€ 11,809.21).
