I volunteer on Tuesdays at a long time art gallery where they have had 'call' pieces, and will ask when that was done. They had a 'call' sculpture, I asked out of curiosity and an employee told me the price ($8,000). Usually, all pieces have a price tag for all to see, and in fact that particular prices had other (cheaper) works with prices viewable . . . . I have nothing to do with the setting of prices, so I don't know other than call pieces are the most expensive. It may be that they're so expensive and only people or organizations with lots of money are serious buyers that there is inevitable financial logistics and negotiations are involved.
