Upper estimate price exceeded by 58 %.
The work Variation by Alexej von Jawlensky was sold in the ExpressionismGermany, Austria and Beyond auction at Bonhams in London in November last year. It achieved a price of GBP 94,800.00 (€ 109,851.55), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 58%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Alexej von Jawlensky achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Schokko (Schokko Mit Tellerhut) Schokko (Schokko With Wide-Brimmed Hat) in February 2008 with an auction result of GBP 9,428,500.00 (€ 12,332,107.99).
