A top price for Jonathan Borofsky
This artwork by Jonathan Borofsky achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in November 2006. In the Prints and Multiples auction, the work Man with Briefcase A; B; C; at No. 3274714; and at No. 5876246 (G. 1482-4; 1461) sold for USD 60,000.00 (€ 45,245.46) - well above the upper estimate of USD 25,000.00. This high result makes Man with Briefcase A; B; C; at No. 3274714; and at No. 5876246 (G. 1482-4; 1461) the most expensive artwork by Jonathan Borofsky that we have observed at auctions so far.
