Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work The Phoenix by Grace Hartigan was sold in the 20th Century Evening Sale auction at Christies in New York in May 2021. Here, the upper estimate of USD 600,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for USD 687,500.00 (€ 563,801.87). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Grace Hartigan - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Early November, which sold at auction in May last year for USD 1,380,000.00 (€ 1,285,993.85).
