This artwork by Joannis Avramidis achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in Amsterdam in November 2020. In the Post-War & Contemporary Art: Amsterdam auction, the work Kopf Ii (Head Ii) sold for EUR 40,000.00 - well above the upper estimate of EUR 20,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Joannis Avramidis - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Figur II, which sold at auction in June 2019 for EUR 142,600.00.

In der Auktion Post-War & Contemporary Art: Amsterdam wurde die Arbeit Kopf Ii (Head Ii) für EUR 40.000,00 versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von EUR 20.000,00.
