Ta Stojąca Postać Magdaleny Abakanowicz (brąz) została sprzedana w 2022 roku w Sotheby’s za GBP 113,400 (z opłatami): https://www.sothebys.com/en/buy/auction/2022/contemporary-day-auction-4/standing-figure. Bardzo zaskakuje obecnie sprzedaż tej rzeźby za mniej niż połowę tamtej ceny bo za GBP 40,000 (GBP 50,400 z opłatami). Hmmm.
