Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Figures In The Street by Bruno Schulz was sold in the Israeli & International Art auction at Sothebys in New York in December 2014. Here, the upper estimate of USD 40,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for USD 43,750.00 (€ 36,154.04). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Bruno Schulz - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work A Woman Seated On A Couch, A Man At Her Shoe, which sold at auction in December 2013 for USD 118,750.00 (€ 86,181.87).
