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.
