Upper estimate price exceeded by 38 %.

The work Self-Portrait by Alma Lavenson was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in April 2017. It achieved a price of USD 13,750.00 (€ 12,620.47), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 38%.

Oberer Schätzpreis um 38 % übertroffen

Die Arbeit Self-Portrait von Alma Lavenson kam im April 2017 bei Sothebys in New York zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von USD 13.750,00 (€ 12.620,47) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 38%.
