Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Stanley Whitney achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in London in June last year. In the Modern & Contemporary Evening Auction auction, the work The Wild West sold for GBP 906,200.00 (€ 1,052,746.62) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 400,000.00. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Stanley Whitney; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Radical Openness sold at auction in May last year with the realized price of USD 2,228,000.00 (€ 2,076,227.75).
