Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Untitled With Wall by Ray Johnson was auctioned at Christies in London in March 2021. It achieved a price of GBP 17,500.00 (€ 20,557.99), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 17%. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Ray Johnson - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Comb, which sold at auction in March 2021 for GBP 47,500.00 (€ 55,800.26).
