A top price for Robert Filliou
When the work Principe D'Équivalence, Création Permanente - Red Sock In Yellow Box I, Ii, Iii by Robert Filliou was auctioned at Sothebys in London in July 2008, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 18,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at GBP 79,250.00 (€ 100,688.02).
