Artwork auctioned at six times the upper estimate price

The work Eichhörnchen (Squirrel) (C. S126) by Meret Oppenheim was worth USD 15,240.00 (€ 13,804.35) to a buyer in April this year. This price was achieved in the auction Editions & Works on Paper at Phillips in New York and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of USD 2,500.00 many times over. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Meret Oppenheim achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work La Condition Humaine in November 2016 with an auction result of GBP 197,000.00 (€ 232,440.63).
