Auction result well in line with expectations

The work Hudson 8 by Al Held was sold in the Contemporary Art auction at Sothebys in New York in March 2021. It changed hands for a price of USD 7,560.00 (€ 6,437.88) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of USD 6,000.00 – 8,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Al Held achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Compass Rose in November 2019 with an auction result of USD 312,500.00 (€ 283,601.05).
