Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Delta Omicron by Morris Louis was auctioned at Christies in New York in November 2018. Here, the upper estimate of USD 1,500,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for USD 1,572,500.00 (€ 1,388,766.23). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Morris Louis - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Floral V, which sold at auction in November last year for USD 5,580,000.00 (€ 5,405,405.41).
