Auction result misses estimated price range
In November last year a collector was able to acquire the work OCT. 27, 1982 ("Wednesday.") from Today series, 1966–2013 by On Kawara for USD 3,800,000.00 (€ 3,681,100.46). This price was achieved in the auction 21st Century Evening Sale at Christies in New York and was even below the estimate range of USD 4,000,000.00 – 6,000,000.00 set by the auction house. Other works by On Kawara have also sold for higher prices; the highest price we have seen at auction so far was achieved in May 2017 by the work Untitled (Decade) at USD 4,175,000.00 (€ 3,715,735.14).
