Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Geometric Mouse, Scale D "Home-Made" by Claes Oldenburg was sold in the Prints & Multiples | Live Online auction at Bonhams in January this year. The price achieved of USD 637.50 (€ 587.12) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 500.00 – 700.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Claes Oldenburg achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Clothespin Ten Foot in November 2015 with an auction result of USD 3,637,000.00 (€ 3,443,476.61).
