In November 2019 Sothebys in New York held the auction Contemporary Art Evening Auction, which included the work Ph-399 by Clyfford Still. The »bidding war« ended at USD 24,296,900.00 (€ 22,050,004.54), 35% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Clyfford Still - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work 1949-A-No . 1, which sold at auction in November 2011 for USD 61,682,500.00 (€ 45,850,367.95).
