This artwork by Kaari Upson achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in New York in May 2019. In the Contemporary Art Day Auction auction, the work Aura/Grotto sold for USD 35,000.00 (€ 31,392.95) - 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 Kaari Upson; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Horizon sold at auction in October 2014 with the realized price of GBP 37,500.00 (€ 47,882.08).
