This artwork by Tom of Finland achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in New York in May last year. In the Contemporary Day Auction auction, the work without title sold for USD 56,700.00 (€ 52,837.57) - well above the upper estimate of USD 20,000.00. Admittedly, works by Tom of Finland have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Untitled [Twelve Works|AID701324] in May last year with an auction result of USD 289,800.00 (€ 270,058.71).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Tom of Finland erzielte im Mai letzten Jahres bei Sothebys in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis.
