Upper estimate price exceeded by 27 %.
The work Phil (Philip Glass) by Chuck Close was sold in the Evening & Day Editions auction at Phillips in London in January 2024. It achieved a price of GBP 10,160.00 (€ 17,004.37), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 27%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Chuck Close achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Gwynne in May 2004 with an auction result of USD 2,807,500.00 (€ 2,298,027.34).
