What has this artist's work sold for at auction?
Works by this artist have appeared at Christie's, Sotheby's, and Phillips over the past decade. Recent hammer prices range from $22,000 to $410,000, with the strongest results at Christie's New York in 2022. The market has trended upward approximately 60% over five years, driven by institutional acquisitions and a major retrospective at the Kunsthalle Basel.
Is this period considered significant in their career?
This falls within their middle period — widely regarded by critics as their most assured work. The shift from early gestural abstraction toward structural restraint began after a 2008 residency and culminated in a 2011 solo at Hauser & Wirth. Works from this window consistently command the highest prices at auction and are represented in the collections of MoMA and the Tate.
What should I know about provenance for this type of work?
For works from this period, request the original certificate of authenticity from the studio or estate, exhibition labels on the verso, and any correspondence with the artist. The artist maintained meticulous records — the estate can confirm authenticity for major works. Chain of ownership since initial sale is the most important factor for insurance and resale.

Why it matters
The information gap
between buyer and gallery.
Galleries and auction houses have always had an information advantage. They know the auction history, the institutional standing, the market trajectory. Buyers didn't — until now.
Meridian's AI gives every collector access to the same depth of research that previously required an art advisor, an auction specialist, or years of market experience.
