Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Heaven Three Ways/Exquisite Corpse by Martin Puryear was auctioned at Christies in New York in November 2017. The price achieved of USD 432,500.00 (€ 363,506.47) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 350,000.00 – 550,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Martin Puryear - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work without title, which sold at auction in May 2014 for USD 1,805,000.00 (€ 1,323,313.78).
