A top price for Nicola Costantino - as previously expected
The work Human Furrier (Nipple Coat) by Nicola Costantino was auctioned at Christies in New York in May 2014. The result of USD 10,000.00 (€ 7,331.38) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of USD 10,000.00 – 15,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Human Furrier (Nipple Coat) is the most expensive artwork by Nicola Costantino that we have observed at auctions so far.
