A top price for Naum Knop - as previously expected
The work Polychrome female figure by Naum Knop was auctioned at Christies in New York in July 2007. The price achieved of USD 5,760.00 (€ 4,201.01) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 5,000.00 – 7,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Polychrome female figure is the most expensive artwork by Naum Knop that we have observed at auctions so far.
