The work The Umbrellas (Joint project for Japan and USA) by Christo was auctioned at Christies in October 2021. It achieved a price of GBP 81,250.00 (€ 96,259.31), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 48%. 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.
