This artwork by Margaret Kilgallen achieved an unexpectedly high price at Phillips in New York in November 2012. In the Evening & Day Editions auction, the work without title sold for USD 17,500.00 (€ 13,451.19) - well above the upper estimate of USD 9,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Margaret Kilgallen achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Untitled (Salt, Sweet, Ch, Wheet) in May 2019 with an auction result of USD 447,000.00 (€ 400,932.82).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 94 % übertroffen
