A top price for Paul Klee
This artwork by Paul Klee achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in November last year. In the Visionary: The Paul G. Allen Collection Part I auction, the work Bunte Landschaft sold for USD 4,860,000.00 (€ 4,707,933.74) - well above the upper estimate of USD 1,800,000.00. This high result makes Bunte Landschaft the most expensive artwork by Paul Klee that we have observed at auctions so far.
