In September 2014 Sothebys in New York held the auction Contemporary Curated featuring works from the Collection of Joni Gordon of Newspace Gallery, which included this untitled work by Richard Stankiewicz. The »bidding war« ended at USD 46,875.00 (€ 37,119.89), 56% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Richard Stankiewicz - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Playful Bathers, which sold at auction in May 2012 for USD 134,500.00 (€ 108,783.57).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 56 % übertroffen
