Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Robert Kulicke achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in New York in July last year. In the Modern Discoveries auction, the work Half-Peeled Orange sold for USD 5,670.00 (€ 5,557.73) - well above the upper estimate of USD 2,500.00. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Robert Kulicke; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Zinnias In A Glass Jar On A Light Grey Background sold at auction in April 2013 with the realized price of USD 10,625.00 (€ 8,068.80).
