In November 2001 Christies in New York held the auction Contemporary (Day Sale), which included the work Two-Granite Chairs (A Pair) by Scott Burton. The »bidding war« ended at USD 138,000.00 (€ 154,052.24), 53% above the upper estimate. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Scott Burton; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Pair of Granite Chairs sold at auction in October 2007 with the realized price of GBP 156,500.00 (€ 224,744.30).
