A top price for Jacques Lipchitz
The work Figure by Jacques Lipchitz was worth USD 4,380,000.00 (€ 4,242,952.63) to a buyer in November last year. This price was achieved in the auction Visionary: The Paul G. Allen Collection Part II at Christies in New York and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of USD 1,000,000.00 many times over. This high result makes Figure the most expensive artwork by Jacques Lipchitz that we have observed at auctions so far.
