Auction result well in line with expectations

The work Stoker by Norman Bluhm was sold in the Post-War and Contemporary Art Day Sale auction at Christies in New York in November 2021. The price achieved of USD 60,000.00 (€ 53,158.50) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 50,000.00 – 70,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Norman Bluhm achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Chicago 1920 in May 2008 with an auction result of USD 1,138,600.00 (€ 731,748.07).
