This artwork by Wangechi Mutu achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in May 2019. In the Post-War and Contemporary Art Afternoon Session auction, the work without title sold for USD 60,000.00 (€ 53,816.49) - well above the upper estimate of USD 30,000.00. Admittedly, works by Wangechi Mutu have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work A Little Thought for All Ya'll Who're Thinking of Beating Around the Bush in February 2008 with an auction result of GBP 204,500.00 (€ 267,477.97).
