Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Seven works from the series Pictures of Garbage: (i) The Sower (Zumbi); (ii) The Bearer (Imã); (iii) Marat (Sebastião); (iv) The Gypsy (Magna); (v) Isis (Woman Ironing); (vi) Mother and Children (Suellem); (vii) Atlas (Carlão) by Vik Muniz was auctioned at Phillips in New York in December 2020. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 70,000.00 – 100,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 75,600.00 (€ 61,815.21) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Admittedly, works by Vik Muniz have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work The Sugar Children: Valentina, The Fastest; Jacynthe Loves Orange Juice; Big James Sweats Buckets; Lil' Calist Can'T Swim; Valicia Bathes In Sunday Clothes; Ten Ten'S Weed Necklace in November 2015 with an auction result of USD 293,000.00 (€ 277,409.58).
