The work The Gates, Project for Central Park, New York City by Christo was sold in the 20th Century & Contemporary Art Day Sale, Morning Session auction at Phillips in New York in June 2021. It achieved a price of USD 113,400.00 (€ 95,712.36), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 62%. 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.
