The work Hand by Martin Puryear was sold in the First Open Online: Post-War and Contemporary Art auction at Christies in New York in July 2018. It achieved a price of USD 22,500.00 (€ 19,220.91), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 50%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Martin Puryear achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work without title in May 2014 with an auction result of USD 1,805,000.00 (€ 1,323,313.78).

Die Arbeit Hand von Martin Puryear wurde im Juli 2018 in der Auktion First Open Online: Post-War and Contemporary Art bei Christies in New York versteigert. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von USD 22.500,00 (€ 19.220,91) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 50%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Martin Puryear erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit ohne Titel im Mai 2014 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 1.805.000,00 (€ 1.323.313,78).
