The work Wolf with Bush and Roots by Kiki Smith was sold in the Post-War to Present auction at Christies in New York in March this year. It achieved a price of USD 100,800.00 (€ 92,715.23), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 44%. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Kiki Smith - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work without title, which sold at auction in November 2005 for USD 284,800.00 (€ 241,560.64).
