Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Le Saint-Cyrien by Georges Seurat was auctioned at Christies in New York in May 2021. It achieved a price of USD 4,350,000.00 (€ 3,567,328.19), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 24%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Georges Seurat achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Les Poseuses, Ensemble (Petite version) in November last year with an auction result of USD 149,240,000.00 (€ 144,570,376.83).
