Upper estimated price slightly exceeded

The work Untitled (Body Print) by David Hammons was sold in the Contemporary Evening Auction auction at Sothebys in New York in May last year. The »bidding war« ended at USD 819,000.00 (€ 763,209.39), 17% above the upper estimate.

Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
