The work Study for Warhol Marilyn by Elaine Sturtevant was auctioned at Phillips in New York in May this year. It achieved a price of USD 2,419,500.00 (€ 2,270,978.04), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 61%. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Elaine Sturtevant - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Warhol Diptych, which sold at auction in May 2015 for USD 5,093,000.00 (€ 4,632,526.83).
