Auction result well in line with expectations

The work Brezhnev II (1976) by Leon Golub was auctioned at Christies in New York in September 2016. The price achieved of USD 6,250.00 (€ 5,561.49) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 5,000.00 – 7,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Leon Golub achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work White Squad X in November 2014 with an auction result of USD 197,000.00 (€ 158,385.59).
