Upper estimate price exceeded by 34 %.
The work Lucky U by Robert Irwin was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in September 2014. It achieved a price of USD 46,875.00 (€ 37,119.89), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 34%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Robert Irwin achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work without title in November 2021 with an auction result of USD 8,331,600.00 (€ 7,381,589.44).
