A top price for Grisha Bruskin

When the work Logies, Part I by Grisha Bruskin was auctioned at Christies in New York in November 2000, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 20,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than 21 times as high at USD 424,000.00 (€ 487,692.66). This high result makes Logies, Part I the most expensive artwork by Grisha Bruskin that we have observed at auctions so far.
