Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
The work 'Mongolian Dancer' by Malvina Hoffman was worth USD 45,600.00 (€ 37,817.22) to a buyer in September 2005. This price was achieved in the auction Fine American Paintings, Drawings and Sculpture at Christies in New York and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of USD 12,000.00 many times over. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Malvina Hoffman; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot 'La Frileuse' sold at auction in December 2002 with the realized price of USD 53,775.00 (€ 51,287.55).
