Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work I am (Portrait of Michelangelo Antonioni) 02 by Makoto Saito was sold in the Post-War and Contemporary Art Afternoon Session auction at Christies in New York in May 2012. Here, the upper estimate of USD 180,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for USD 206,500.00 (€ 167,017.15). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Makoto Saito - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Snow B.B. (No. 20130301), which sold at auction in October 2016 for HKD 3,200,000.00 (€ 376,573.62).
