Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Sapphic Strophes 4, from Sapphic Strophes by Julie Mehretu was auctioned at Phillips in 6 - in September this year. The price achieved of USD 2,413.00 (€ 2,279.86) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 2,000.00 – 3,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Julie Mehretu achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Black Ground (Deep Light) in April 2019 with an auction result of HKD 44,209,000.00 (€ 5,032,271.67).
