Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price
The work Napier by Lynda Benglis was worth USD 806,500.00 (€ 714,538.85) to a buyer in November 2021. This price was achieved in the auction Contemporary Day Auction at Sothebys in New York and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of USD 200,000.00 many times over. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Lynda Benglis; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Moretti sold at auction in May last year with the realized price of USD 1,071,000.00 (€ 998,043.05).
