In November 2001 Christies in New York held the auction Contemporary (Day Sale), which included the work Two-Granite Chairs (A Pair) by Scott Burton. The »bidding war« ended at USD 138,000.00 (€ 154,052.24), 53% above the upper estimate. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Scott Burton; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Pair of Granite Chairs sold at auction in October 2007 with the realized price of GBP 156,500.00 (€ 224,744.30).

Im November 2001 führte Christies in New York die Auktion Contemporary (Day Sale) durch, in der auch die Arbeit Two-Granite Chairs (A Pair) von Scott Burton zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 138.000,00 (€ 154.052,24) und damit 53% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Scott Burton; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit Pair of Granite Chairs im Oktober 2007 mit dem Hammerpreis von GBP 156.500,00 (€ 224.744,30).
