Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
The work Ted Starkowski by George Platt Lynes was worth USD 5,355.00 (€ 5,115.10) to a buyer in June last year. This price was achieved in the auction The Male Form at Bonhams in New York and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of USD 1,500.00 many times over. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by George Platt Lynes - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Yul Brynner, 1942, which sold at auction in October 2005 for USD 16,800.00 (€ 14,005.84).

Für andere Arbeiten von George Platt Lynes mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Yul Brynner, 1942 beobachtet, die im Oktober 2005 für USD 16.800,00 (€ 14.005,84) versteigert wurde.
