Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Animal Ii by Jan Lebenstein was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in April 2021. The price achieved of USD 27,720.00 (€ 23,042.39) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 25,000.00 – 35,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Jan Lebenstein - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Figure Xviii, which sold at auction in June 2021 for EUR 87,500.00.
