The work Yellow Crater by Helen Frankenthaler was auctioned at Christies in New York in November last year. It achieved a price of USD 2,820,000.00 (€ 2,731,764.02), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 41%. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Helen Frankenthaler - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Royal Fireworks, which sold at auction in June 2020 for USD 7,895,300.00 (€ 7,029,917.19).
