Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Henry Chalfant achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in New York in October 2021. In the Public Intervention: Art of the Street auction, the work Blade sold for USD 6,930.00 (€ 5,998.96) - well above the upper estimate of USD 2,500.00. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Henry Chalfant; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Subway Portfolio sold at auction in April 2015 with the realized price of USD 12,500.00 (€ 11,198.71).
