Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%

This artwork by Jon Serl achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in January 2019. In the Outsider and Vernacular Art auction, the work Gourd Bird Nest, circa 1970 sold for USD 11,250.00 (€ 9,821.90) - well above the upper estimate of USD 5,000.00.
