Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Arthur Leipzig achieved an unexpectedly high price at Bonhams in April this year. In the Classic & Contemporary Photographs auction, the work Stickball, New York City sold for USD 4,462.50 (€ 4,042.12) - well above the upper estimate of USD 1,800.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Arthur Leipzig - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Subway Lovers, 1949, which sold at auction in October 2007 for USD 21,250.00 (€ 14,687.59).
