The work Untitled (S.399, Hanging Tied Wire Open Center Six-Branched Form Based on Nature) by Ruth Asawa was sold in the Post-War & Contemporary Art Day Sale auction at Christies in New York in October 2020. It achieved a price of USD 375,000.00 (€ 321,971.32), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 50%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Ruth Asawa achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Untitled (S.387, Hanging Three Separate Layers of Three-Lobed Forms) in November 2019 with an auction result of USD 4,095,000.00 (€ 3,716,308.19).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 50 % übertroffen
