This artwork by Hannah Höch achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in June 2019. In the Impressionist and Modern Art Evening Sale auction, the work Er und sein Milieu sold for GBP 635,250.00 (€ 714,115.21) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 350,000.00. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Hannah Höch; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Frau und Saturn sold at auction in June 2017 with the realized price of GBP 1,085,000.00 (€ 1,235,612.57).
