The work Almost Kissing Wings by Sarah Crowner was sold in the Contemporary Day Auction auction at Sothebys in New York in May last year. It achieved a price of USD 94,500.00 (€ 88,062.62), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 58%. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Sarah Crowner - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Rotated Stretched Stems, Cropped, which sold at auction in November 2021 for USD 378,000.00 (€ 334,898.56).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 58 % übertroffen
