This artwork by Chris Burden achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in May 2016. In the Post-War and Contemporary Art Afternoon Session auction, the work Deluxe Photo Book: 1971-73 sold for USD 43,750.00 (€ 39,290.53) - well above the upper estimate of USD 25,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Chris Burden achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Warship in May 2016 with an auction result of USD 502,000.00 (€ 450,830.71).
