Upper estimated price slightly exceeded

The work Poesie De Canaan by Moshe Castel was sold in the Israeli & International Art auction at Sothebys in New York in December 2013. It achieved a price of USD 23,750.00 (€ 17,236.37), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 19%. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Moshe Castel - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Hallelujah, which sold at auction in April 2007 for USD 90,000.00 (€ 65,885.80).
