George Grosz's star continues to rise. In 2015 at Christie's New York, his drawing of a "respectable" German couple was offered for sale. The man and woman are depicted upright and stiff, walking side by side joylessly on their way to what they anticipate to be an unpleasant social function. They represent the moral torpor of Weimar Germany's upper class. The incisive drawing sold for about four times its estimate.
