Art Market
Bourgeois’s 2006 sales made her the best-paid living woman artist after a buyer paid $4 million for an 8-foot spider at Christie's in London. She eclipsed the record in 2008, when another spider fetched $4.5 million. In 2011, $10.7 million at auction made a new record price for the artist, against an estimate of $4 million to $6 million. This is the highest price paid for a work by a woman artist.
