A top price for Maurice Calka
When the work A Fiberglass 'Boomerang' Desk And Leather Upholstered Swivel Chair, Circa 1969 by Maurice Calka was auctioned at Christies in New York in December 2007, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 50,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than nine times as high at USD 481,000.00 (€ 329,384.37). This high result makes A Fiberglass 'Boomerang' Desk And Leather Upholstered Swivel Chair, Circa 1969 the most expensive artwork by Maurice Calka that we have observed at auctions so far.
