Artwork auctioned at five times the upper estimate price
The work Night of Ice by Christopher Brown was worth USD 15,120.00 (€ 14,090.02) to a buyer in May last year. This price was achieved in the auction Post-War and Contemporary Art Day Sale at Christies in New York and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of USD 3,000.00 many times over. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Christopher Brown - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Film Study, which sold at auction in September 2007 for USD 46,000.00 (€ 32,351.08).
