This artwork by David Breuer-Weil achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in April 2005. In the POST-WAR AND CONTEMPORARY ART auction, the work Head (Project 2) sold for GBP 15,600.00 (€ 23,090.27) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 8,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by David Breuer-Weil - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Alien, which sold at auction in October 2014 for GBP 50,000.00 (€ 63,842.78).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 95 % übertroffen
