A top price for Eva Hesse
In May 2019 Phillips in New York held the auction 20th Century & Contemporary Art Evening Sale, which included the work No title by Eva Hesse. Here, the upper estimate of USD 3,500,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for USD 3,980,000.00 (€ 3,569,826.89). With this result, No title is even the most expensive work of art by Eva Hesse that we have observed at auctions so far.
