Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
The work Typewriter with Flour by Rodney Graham was worth USD 46,995.00 (€ 47,307.23) to a buyer in October last year. This price was achieved in the auction Photographs at Bonhams in New York and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of USD 15,000.00 many times over. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Rodney Graham - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Inverted Drip Painting #47, which sold at auction in October 2018 for GBP 150,000.00 (€ 169,153.72).
