In September last year Christies in New York held the auction Post-War to Present, which included the work All Rosey by Wangechi Mutu. The »bidding war« ended at USD 138,600.00 (€ 141,674.33), 16% above the upper estimate. Other works by Wangechi Mutu have achieved even higher prices, we observed the highest auction result so far of GBP 204,500.00 (€ 267,477.97) in February 2008 for the work A Little Thought for All Ya'll Who're Thinking of Beating Around the Bush.
