A top price for Oscar Graubner
When the work Margaret Bourke-White atop the Chrysler Building (close up) by Oscar Graubner was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in December 2020, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 5,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 15,120.00 (€ 12,363.04). This high result makes Margaret Bourke-White atop the Chrysler Building (close up) the most expensive artwork by Oscar Graubner that we have observed at auctions so far.

Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Margaret Bourke-White atop the Chrysler Building (close up) zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Oscar Graubner, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
