Upper estimate price exceeded by 58 %.
In January 2016 Christies in New York held the auction Liberation through Expression: Outsider and Vernacular Art, which included the work Yaekle Building, Dated 1982 by William Hawkins. The »bidding war« ended at USD 47,500.00 (€ 43,851.55), 58% above the upper estimate. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by William Hawkins; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Puma Kitten, circa 1985 sold at auction in January 2017 with the realized price of USD 85,000.00 (€ 78,747.45).
