This artwork by Dorothea Rockburne achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in May last year. In the Post-War and Contemporary Art Day Sale auction, the work Arena VI sold for USD 88,200.00 (€ 82,191.78) - well above the upper estimate of USD 30,000.00. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Dorothea Rockburne; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Black and White sold at auction in November last year with the realized price of USD 119,700.00 (€ 115,954.66).
