Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Study for Homage to the Square: Home-Coming by Josef Albers was auctioned at Christies in New York in September last year. The price achieved of USD 504,000.00 (€ 515,179.39) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 400,000.00 – 600,000.00.
