Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Scott Burton achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in New York in May 2008. In the Contemporary Art Day Auction auction, the work Low Piece sold for USD 133,000.00 (€ 85,475.58) - well above the upper estimate of USD 60,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Scott Burton - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Pair of Granite Chairs, which sold at auction in October 2007 for GBP 156,500.00 (€ 224,744.30).
