This artwork by Leonid Purygin achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in New York in October 2019. In the Escape Artists 2.0: The Non-Conformists Online auction, the work Nude sold for USD 23,750.00 (€ 21,290.90) - well above the upper estimate of USD 8,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Leonid Purygin - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Babylon Tower, which sold at auction in November 2007 for GBP 56,900.00 (€ 79,674.72).
