As stated above, it depends on what someone wants to pay.

It is a fairly small original, monochromatic colors (not bright contrasting colors as in some other peices), and fairly simple theme (3 characters). All of these factors could keep the bidding reasonable.

On the otherhand, the 3 characters are the classic cat, tiki and fez wearing monkey, which will appeal to many, and may drive up the price.

His gallery waitlists have not gotten any shorter, and the price for originals at shows has continued to increase. I would imagine his prices will increase some with the MModern show this month. Based on past gallery shows and e-bay auctions I would imagine it will fetch between 4-6 grand.

As stated above, it depends on what someone wants to pay. Is it worth that much? Who knows, I would not buy art as an investment, but if you can afford it and love it, that is a real reason to buy art.
