Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price
The work Slooshying The Sluice Of Lovely Sounds. Oh, It Was Gorgeousness And Gorgeosity Made Flesh. by Firelei Báez was worth USD 56,700.00 (€ 48,682.06) to a buyer in October 2020. This price was achieved in the auction Contemporary Curated at Sothebys in New York and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of USD 12,000.00 many times over.
