Auction result well in line with expectations
The work General de La Fayette, Hero of Two Worlds by Zuka was auctioned at Christies in New York in December 2012. The price achieved of USD 375.00 (€ 284.39) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 300.00 – 500.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Zuka - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Sans titre et Trois veaux bleus, which sold at auction in July 2010 for EUR 687.50.
