A top price for Lily Harmon

When the work Location X by Lily Harmon was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in April 2021, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 300.00 but the actual price achieved was more than 14 times as high at USD 4,410.00 (€ 3,665.84). This high result makes Location X the most expensive artwork by Lily Harmon that we have observed at auctions so far.
