Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price

The work Eclosion Grouping: Maya (Illusion) by Lynda Benglis was worth USD 362,500.00 (€ 321,165.94) to a buyer in November 2021. This price was achieved in the auction Post-War and Contemporary Art Day Sale at Christies in New York and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of USD 120,000.00 many times over. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Lynda Benglis - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Moretti, which sold at auction in May last year for USD 1,071,000.00 (€ 998,043.05).
