In February 2021 Sothebys in Paris held the auction Unwrapped, Part I: The Hidden World of Christo and Jeanne-Claude, which included the work Needed-Erase-Her by Hannah Wilke. The »bidding war« ended at EUR 63,000.00 26% above the upper estimate. Admittedly, works by Hannah Wilke have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work S.O.S. Starification Object Series in September 2017 with an auction result of USD 708,500.00 (€ 599,762.97).
