Upper estimate price exceeded by 29 %.
The work Plank Piece I-Ii by Charles Ray was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in June 2020. It achieved a price of USD 387,500.00 (€ 345,027.16), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 29%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Charles Ray achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Aluminum Girl in May 2012 with an auction result of USD 4,282,500.00 (€ 3,463,684.89).
