Upper estimated price slightly exceeded

This work without title by Ulrich Rückriem was sold in the Contemporary Art Day Auction auction at Sothebys in New York in May 2018. Here, the upper estimate of USD 80,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for USD 81,250.00 (€ 69,622.96).
