A top price for Lynda Benglis
This artwork by Lynda Benglis achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in New York in May last year. In the Contemporary Day Auction auction, the work Moretti sold for USD 1,071,000.00 (€ 998,043.05) - well above the upper estimate of USD 500,000.00. This high result makes Moretti the most expensive artwork by Lynda Benglis that we have observed at auctions so far.
