Auction result well in line with expectations
The work History Keeps Me Awake at Night (For Rilo Chmierlorz) by David Wojnarowicz was sold in the Post-War & Contemporary Art Day Sale auction at Christies in New York in November last year. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 800,000.00 – 1,200,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 882,000.00 (€ 854,402.79) could thus just exceed the lower estimate.
