A top price for Ken Ohara - as previously expected
The work Face 1, from the One series, 1970 by Ken Ohara was auctioned at Christies in New York in October 2016. The price achieved of USD 5,000.00 (€ 4,561.21) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 4,000.00 – 6,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Face 1, from the One series, 1970 is the most expensive artwork by Ken Ohara that we have observed at auctions so far.
