The work Cassandra (I) From "Le Jeu De Marseilles" by Kay Sage was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in May 2019. It achieved a price of USD 9,375.00 (€ 8,408.83), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 34%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Kay Sage achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Le Passage in February 2014 with an auction result of GBP 4,338,500.00 (€ 5,263,644.43).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 34 % übertroffen
