Upper estimate price exceeded by 100 %.
This artwork by Helen Marten achieved an unexpectedly high price at Phillips in London in July 2020. In the New Now auction, the work A face the same colour as your desk sold for GBP 20,000.00 (€ 22,308.48) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 10,000.00. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Helen Marten; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Hostage Circumstance (Unauthorized Twin-Set) sold at auction in February 2014 with the realized price of GBP 20,000.00 (€ 24,264.81).
