Artwork auctioned at 14 times the upper estimate price
The work Study for The Hidden Letter by Kay Sage was worth GBP 43,750.00 (€ 60,324.75) to a buyer in February 2015. This price was achieved in the auction Impressionist/Modern Works on Paper at Christies in London and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of GBP 3,000.00 many times over. 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).
