Upper estimate price exceeded by 46 %.
The work Composition (Cross And Circle) by László Moholy-Nagy was sold in the A Graphic Dialogue: Prints from the Collection of Lois B. Torf auction at Christies in September 2021. The »bidding war« ended at USD 17,500.00 (€ 15,116.18), 46% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by László Moholy-Nagy achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Em 1 Telephonbild (Em 1 Telephone Picture) in November 2016 with an auction result of USD 6,087,500.00 (€ 5,754,868.60).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 46 % übertroffen

Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 17.500,00 (€ 15.116,18) und damit 46% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von László Moholy-Nagy erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Em 1 Telephonbild (Em 1 Telephone Picture) im November 2016 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 6.087.500,00 (€ 5.754.868,60).
