Upper estimated price slightly exceeded

The work Mission by Richard Pousette-Dart was sold in the 20th Century & Contemporary Art Day Sale, Morning Session auction at Phillips in New York in November 2018. Here, the upper estimate of USD 45,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for USD 50,000.00 (€ 44,157.91).
