Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Joan Brown achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in New York in March 2021. In the Contemporary Art auction, the work Zoo sold for USD 52,920.00 (€ 45,065.15) - well above the upper estimate of USD 20,000.00. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Joan Brown; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Untitled (Portrait of Jay de Feo) sold at auction in November 2005 with the realized price of USD 78,000.00 (€ 66,157.76).
