Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
The work Seated Woman 21 3/4 x 18 1/4 in. (55.2 x 46.4 cm) unframed by Sigmund Joseph Menkes was worth USD 20,400.00 (€ 18,763.80) to a buyer in March this year. This price was achieved in the auction Modern & Contemporary Art | Bonhams Skinner at Bonhams and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of USD 6,000.00 many times over. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Sigmund Joseph Menkes - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Nu, 1924, which sold at auction in October 2011 for EUR 71,173.00.
