Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Méchant Méchant (Bad, Bad) Puzzle by Niki de Saint Phalle was auctioned at Bonhams in New York in December 2021. The price achieved of USD 2,550.00 (€ 2,253.05) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 2,000.00 – 4,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Niki de Saint Phalle achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Nana Danseuse Noire (Grande Danseuse Negresse) - Circa 1968 in December 2015 with an auction result of EUR 961,500.00.
