Art Market Prices
Emin's auction record, set at Christie's, London, in December 2010, is £130,000 (hammer price), paid for her 2004 appliqué blanket It's The Way We Think. Only one other of her works has ever fetched more than £100,000, the red neon light installation I promise to love you, which fetched £102,040 (US$200,000) at Sotheby's, New York, in February 2008.

Famous quotes containing the words art, market and/or prices:

—Reinhold Niebuhr (1892–1971)
“At market and fair, all folks do declare,
There is none like the Boy that sold Broom, green Broom.”
—Unknown. Broom, Green Broom (l. 23–24)
“The earth only has so much bounty to offer and inventing ever larger and more notional prices for that bounty does not change its real value.”
