Upper estimate price exceeded by 100 %.
This artwork by Jozef Kostka achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in March 2017. In the Impressionist and Modern Art auction, the work Femmes sold for GBP 2,000.00 (€ 2,343.80) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 1,000.00. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Jozef Kostka; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Femmes sold at auction in June 2016 with the realized price of GBP 3,250.00 (€ 3,901.06).
