Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
The work Beige by Kenzo Okada was worth USD 112,500.00 (€ 100,106.78) to a buyer in September 2016. This price was achieved in the auction First Open | Post-War and Contemporary Art | NY at Christies in New York and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of USD 35,000.00 many times over.
