Upper estimate price exceeded by 39 %.
The work Woman's Head (Mourlot 1; Bloch 375) by Pablo Picasso was sold in the PICASSO LITHOGRAPHS: THEMES AND VARIATIONS auction at Christies in New York in April 2003. It achieved a price of USD 4,182.50 (€ 3,405.94), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 39%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Pablo Picasso achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Les femmes d'Alger (Version 'O') in May 2015 with an auction result of USD 179,365,000.00 (€ 163,148,080.77).
