Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Serial Project (Set B) by Sol LeWitt was sold in the Post War and Contemporary Art Evening Sale auction at Christies in New York in November 2006. The price achieved of USD 374,400.00 (€ 282,331.65) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 300,000.00 – 400,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Sol LeWitt - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Wavy Brushstrokes, which sold at auction in July 2015 for GBP 449,000.00 (€ 636,531.19).
