This artwork by William Dole achieved an unexpectedly high price at Bonhams in Los Angeles in September last year. In the Post-War & Contemporary Art X Made In California auction, the work Cold Comfort, 1968 sold for USD 3,570.00 (€ 3,649.19) - well above the upper estimate of USD 1,500.00. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by William Dole; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot History of the King, 1963 sold at auction in September last year with the realized price of USD 4,080.00 (€ 4,170.50).

Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
