A top price for Suzy Frelinghuysen
When the work Composition by Suzy Frelinghuysen was auctioned at Christies in New York in November 2018, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 180,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 552,500.00 (€ 487,944.89). This high result makes Composition the most expensive artwork by Suzy Frelinghuysen that we have observed at auctions so far.

Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Composition zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Suzy Frelinghuysen, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
