Artwork auctioned at five times the upper estimate price
The work Book plate for Julius Held by Leonard Baskin was worth USD 1,625.00 (€ 1,269.13) to a buyer in January 2009. This price was achieved in the auction The Scholars Eye: Property from the Julius Held Collection Part II at Christies in New York and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of USD 300.00 many times over. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Leonard Baskin achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Isaacangel in June 2000 with an auction result of USD 18,800.00 (€ 19,696.18).
