This artwork by Gary Simmons achieved an unexpectedly high price at Phillips in New York in September 2018. In the New Now auction, the work Whirl-a-Girl sold for USD 55,000.00 (€ 47,324.04) - well above the upper estimate of USD 30,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Gary Simmons - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Bows and Bones, which sold at auction in December this year for GBP 114,300.00 (€ 131,669.22).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 83 % übertroffen
