Sold at the upper estimate price
The work Self-Portrait (Actress) / After Vivien Leigh 3 by Yasumasa Morimura was sold in the First Open | Post-War and Contemporary Art | NY auction at Christies in New York in September 2016. The auction ended at the price of USD 2,000.00 (€ 1,779.68), which exactly corresponded to the upper end of the estimated price range of USD 1,500.00 – 2,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Yasumasa Morimura achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work An Inner Dialogue with Frida Kahlo in November 2006 with an auction result of USD 66,000.00 (€ 49,770.00).
