Auction result well in line with expectations
In September this year Bonhams in New York held the auction Prints & Photographs | Bonhams Skinner, which included the work Black Women and Child, N.Y. by Leon Levinstein. The price achieved of USD 1,024.00 (€ 967.50) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 800.00 – 1,200.00. Admittedly, works by Leon Levinstein have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Coney Island, 1975 in February 2007 with an auction result of USD 8,400.00 (€ 6,349.21).
