Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Family Group by Sorel Etrog was sold in the Joseph H. Hirshhorn: Collector for A Nation - An Online Sale auction at Sothebys in New York in April 2020. The price achieved of USD 43,750.00 (€ 39,936.10) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 30,000.00 – 50,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Sorel Etrog - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Family Group, which sold at auction in November 2013 for USD 161,000.00 (€ 118,330.15).
