Upper estimate price exceeded by 89 %.

This artwork by Alexander Liberman achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in March this year. In the Art of Collecting: A Pacific Island Connoisseur of Art and Design auction, the work Iota II sold for USD 22,680.00 (€ 20,860.93) - well above the upper estimate of USD 12,000.00. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Alexander Liberman; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Solstice Vii sold at auction in March 2017 with the realized price of USD 40,000.00 (€ 37,390.17).
