A top price for Michele Zalopany
When the work Addressee Unknown by Michele Zalopany was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in July 2019, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 600.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 2,375.00 (€ 2,133.87). This high result makes Addressee Unknown the most expensive artwork by Michele Zalopany that we have observed at auctions so far.

Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Addressee Unknown zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Michele Zalopany, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
