This artwork by Carsten Höller achieved an unexpectedly high price at Phillips in London in March 2017. In the 20th Century & Contemporary Art Day Sale auction, the work Doppelpilzvitrine (24 Doppelpilze) sold for GBP 52,500.00 (€ 61,524.82) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 30,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Carsten Höller - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Hippopotamus, which sold at auction in February 2008 for USD 198,000.00 (€ 130,374.66).
