Sold at the upper estimate price
The work "Untitled" (For White Columns) by Félix González-Torres was auctioned at Christies in New York in November 2017. The auction ended at the price of USD 150,000.00 (€ 126,071.61), which exactly corresponded to the upper end of the estimated price range of USD 100,000.00 – 150,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Félix González-Torres achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work "Untitled" (L.A.) in November 2015 with an auction result of USD 7,669,000.00 (€ 7,260,935.43).
