Artwork auctioned at 14 times the upper estimate price
The work EAT by Saul Steinberg was worth USD 10,200.00 (€ 9,880.85) to a buyer in November last year. This price was achieved in the auction Modern & Contemporary Art at Bonhams in Skinner Marlborough, Massachusetts and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of USD 700.00 many times over. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Saul Steinberg achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Twenty Americans (Twenty Professions) in November last year with an auction result of USD 113,400.00 (€ 109,851.79).
