Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Paralelas by Francis Alÿs was sold in the Latin American Art auction at Christies in New York in May 2018. It achieved a price of USD 212,500.00 (€ 182,090.83), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 18%. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Francis Alÿs - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Study For The Last Clown, which sold at auction in June 2007 for GBP 288,000.00 (€ 427,377.51).
