Upper estimate price exceeded by 55 %.
The work Mass from Pictures of Chocolate by Vik Muniz was sold in the Photographs auction at Phillips in New York in April this year. It achieved a price of USD 27,940.00 (€ 25,307.97), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 55%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Vik Muniz achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Sugar Children: Valentina, The Fastest; Jacynthe Loves Orange Juice; Big James Sweats Buckets; Lil' Calist Can'T Swim; Valicia Bathes In Sunday Clothes; Ten Ten'S Weed Necklace in November 2015 with an auction result of USD 293,000.00 (€ 277,409.58).
