Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price
The work Glass Fish Lamp by Frank Gehry was worth USD 125,000.00 (€ 116,376.50) to a buyer in March 2015. This price was achieved in the auction Joy, Love and Peace: The Peter B. Lewis Collection at Sothebys in New York and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of USD 30,000.00 many times over. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Frank Gehry; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Fish Lamp sold at auction in November 2021 with the realized price of USD 239,400.00 (€ 212,102.42).
