A top price for Lee Krasner - as previously expected
The work The Eye Is The First Circle by Lee Krasner was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in May 2019. The price achieved of USD 11,654,000.00 (€ 10,452,955.42) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 10,000,000.00 – 15,000,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, The Eye Is The First Circle is the most expensive artwork by Lee Krasner that we have observed at auctions so far.
