16 Gil Elvgren Pinup Paintings to auction in the next two weeks

125 posts in this topic

Cross-posting (kinda): Like sci-fi and fantasy illustration art? Live in NYC or the area? Didn't get anything in the auction and have some money to spend? Just want to see some amazing art? Donato Giancola has an open studio this weekend (Saturday and Sunday). Details here.

 

Thanks for this!

Hi Mitch,

 

Thanks for your analysis - great stuff. Btw, Missplaced Confidence ended up at $11.25k. Considering this wasn't a more typical Elvgren pin-up piece, do you think this was still a bargain?

And what are your thoughts on the "lower-end" Elvgrens: Ballerina ($40k), Stitch in Time ($45k), and I'm Trying it on for Size ($42.5k). Were these bargains as well, or valued more accurately compared to the Sotheby's auction?

 

 

"misplaced confidence" is gonna be the bargain here...its only at 4200
