The work Ruxton by Lynda Benglis was sold in the Post-War and Contemporary Art Day Sale auction at Christies in New York in May last year. The »bidding war« ended at USD 403,200.00 (€ 375,733.86), 34% above the upper estimate. 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).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 34 % übertroffen
