The work Embraceable by Elizabeth Murray was sold in the Contemporary Curated auction at Sothebys in New York in October 2020. The »bidding war« ended at USD 126,000.00 (€ 108,182.36), 40% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Elizabeth Murray - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Little Fingers, which sold at auction in November 2019 for USD 437,500.00 (€ 397,041.47).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 40 % übertroffen
