Sold at the upper estimate price
The work A Fig Leaf Paradox Ii by Israel Hershberg was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in December 2011. The auction ended at the price of USD 25,000.00 (€ 19,270.79), which exactly corresponded to the upper end of the estimated price range of USD 20,000.00 – 25,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Israel Hershberg - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Four Quinces, which sold at auction in March 2011 for USD 60,000.00 (€ 42,304.17).
