This artwork by Bob Kuhn achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in November 2007. In the Sporting And Wildlife Art Including The Collection Of Doug And Ellen Miller auction, the work Head of a Lioness sold for USD 14,375.00 (€ 9,786.90) - well above the upper estimate of USD 5,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Bob Kuhn achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Fire Storm in November 2007 with an auction result of USD 657,000.00 (€ 447,303.92).
