Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Departure by Hugo Weber was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in February 2007. Here, the upper estimate of USD 6,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for USD 6,600.00 (€ 4,988.66). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Hugo Weber - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Chicago, which sold at auction in July 2006 for USD 14,400.00 (€ 11,281.73).
