This artwork by George Condo achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in May this year. In the Masterpieces from the S.I. Newhouse Collection auction, the work Portrait Composition in Blue and Grey sold for USD 2,712,000.00 (€ 2,545,522.81) - well above the upper estimate of USD 1,500,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by George Condo - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Nude and Forms, which sold at auction in May 2018 for USD 6,162,500.00 (€ 5,280,634.10).
