David Byrne came into my office and I immediately recognized him from Talking Heads! – Alexander Heinrici

Upper estimate price exceeded by 50 %.

The work Writing by David Byrne was sold in the Screen Star: Alexander Heinrici, Master Printer auction at Christies in New York in October 2017. The »bidding war« ended at USD 750.00 (€ 643.89), 50% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by David Byrne achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Stairway to Heaven: Blue Blood in October 2007 with an auction result of GBP 5,400.00 (€ 7,754.76).
