In May this year Christies in New York held the auction Post-War & Contemporary Art Day Sale, which included this untitled work by Joel Shapiro. The »bidding war« ended at USD 504,000.00 (€ 473,061.76), 68% above the upper estimate. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Joel Shapiro; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot without title sold at auction in March 2016 with the realized price of USD 701,000.00 (€ 615,452.15).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 68 % übertroffen
