Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Running Fence (Project for Sonoma and Marin County State of California) by Christo was sold in the Post-War & Contemporary Art auction at Bonhams in London in October 2021. The price achieved of GBP 47,750.00 (€ 56,570.85) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 35,000.00 – 55,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Christo achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Umbrellas (Joint project for Japan and USA) in February 2021 with an auction result of EUR 1,706,500.00.
