This artwork by Hans Burkhardt achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in March 2016. In the FIRST OPEN | Post-War and Contemporary Art auction, the work Children'S Washday sold for USD 32,500.00 (€ 28,533.80) - well above the upper estimate of USD 15,000.00. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Hans Burkhardt; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Abstract Landscape sold at auction in July 2015 with the realized price of USD 35,000.00 (€ 31,737.40).
