This artwork by Sally Michel Avery achieved an unexpectedly high price at Bonhams in New York in May last year. In the American Art auction, the work Young Mother 30 x 23 7/8 in. (76.2 x 60.6 cm.) sold for USD 28,050.00 (€ 26,139.22) - well above the upper estimate of USD 12,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Sally Michel Avery - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Blue Mug, which sold at auction in May last year for USD 88,200.00 (€ 82,191.78).
