A top price for Michael Chalmers McMillen - as previously expected
In September 2020 Bonhams in Los Angeles held the auction Post-War & Contemporary Art X Made in California, which included the work Sweet Mother of Mercy Eats It All (Red Star), 1989-90 by Michael Chalmers McMillen. The price achieved of USD 6,325.00 (€ 5,397.68) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 5,000.00 – 7,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Sweet Mother of Mercy Eats It All (Red Star), 1989-90 is the most expensive artwork by Michael Chalmers McMillen that we have observed at auctions so far.
