Auction result well in line with expectations

The work Work No. 2 by Yamaguchi Takeo was sold in the Post-War and Contemporary Art Morning Session auction at Christies in New York in May 2018. The price achieved of USD 372,500.00 (€ 319,194.52) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 300,000.00 – 500,000.00.
