Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
The work Matador and Bull by Elaine de Kooning was worth USD 47,880.00 (€ 40,773.23) to a buyer in March 2021. This price was achieved in the auction Contemporary Curated at Sothebys in New York and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of USD 12,000.00 many times over. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Elaine de Kooning achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Red Bison/Blue Horse in March 2021 with an auction result of USD 562,500.00 (€ 479,008.77).
