In February 2021 Sothebys in Paris held the auction Unwrapped, Part I: The Hidden World of Christo and Jeanne-Claude, which included the work Variations on Christo’s Valley Curtain by Gordon Matta-Clark. The »bidding war« ended at EUR 44,100.00 47% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Gordon Matta-Clark - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Pier 52 ( # 4), which sold at auction in October 2016 for GBP 131,000.00 (€ 145,937.97).
