Despite a disappointment, a good price for Charles Steffen
This work of art by Charles Steffen could be acquired at Christies in New York in January 2019 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Outsider and Vernacular Art auction, the work Portrate sic of my mother, 1991 changed hands for USD 2,125.00 (€ 1,855.25) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 3,000.00 – 5,000.00.
