Artwork auctioned at five times the upper estimate price
The work Animal Farm 2 by Donald Baechler was worth USD 75,600.00 (€ 70,450.10) to a buyer in May last year. This price was achieved in the auction Post-War and Contemporary Art Day Sale at Christies in New York and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of USD 15,000.00 many times over. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Donald Baechler - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Conversazione, which sold at auction in November 2000 for USD 149,000.00 (€ 171,382.56).
