In November 2016 Christies in New York held the auction Post-War & Contemporary Art Morning Sale, which included the work Leather Head by Nancy Grossman. The »bidding war« ended at USD 106,250.00 (€ 100,444.32), 52% above the upper estimate. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Nancy Grossman; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Arbus sold at auction in March 2018 with the realized price of USD 225,000.00 (€ 182,629.87).
