Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price

The work The Seven Sleepers by Kay Sage was worth GBP 193,250.00 (€ 224,470.83) to a buyer in February 2013. This price was achieved in the auction The Art Of The Surreal at Christies in London and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of GBP 45,000.00 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).
