Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Ada with Pink Hat by Alex Katz was sold in the A Century of Art: The Gerald Fineberg Collection Part I auction at Christies in New York in May this year. The price achieved of USD 1,381,000.00 (€ 1,296,226.77) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 1,200,000.00 – 1,800,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Alex Katz - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Blue Umbrella I, which sold at auction in October 2019 for GBP 3,375,000.00 (€ 3,914,757.96).
