This artwork by Lea Nikel achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in New York in December 2013. In the Israeli & International Art auction, the work without title sold for USD 59,375.00 (€ 43,090.94) - well above the upper estimate of USD 30,000.00. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Lea Nikel; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot without title sold at auction in December 2014 with the realized price of USD 56,250.00 (€ 46,483.76).
