The work Harper’S Pictorial History Of The Civil War (Annotated) by Kara Walker was sold in the Prints and Multiples auction at Christies in New York in October last year. The »bidding war« ended at USD 151,200.00 (€ 152,204.55), 26% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Kara Walker - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Negress Notes, which sold at auction in May last year for USD 529,200.00 (€ 493,150.68).
