Artwork auctioned at five times the upper estimate price
The work Blue Eggs by Lily Harmon was worth USD 1,134.00 (€ 942.64) to a buyer in April 2021. This price was achieved in the auction Joseph H. Hirshhorn: Collector for a Nation, Part II at Sothebys in New York and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of USD 200.00 many times over. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Lily Harmon - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Location X, which sold at auction in April 2021 for USD 4,410.00 (€ 3,665.84).
