When the work Portrait Lamps: Earl McGrath by Ron Cooper was auctioned at Christies in New York in March 2017, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 1,500.00 but the actual price achieved was more than seven times as high at USD 10,625.00 (€ 9,931.76). This high result makes Portrait Lamps: Earl McGrath the most expensive artwork by Ron Cooper that we have observed at auctions so far.
