This artwork by Emilio Greco achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in March 2017. In the Impressionist and Modern Art auction, the work Estrellita sold for GBP 56,250.00 (€ 65,919.45) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 25,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Emilio Greco - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Grande Bagnante II, which sold at auction in November 2008 for USD 260,500.00 (€ 205,215.06).
