Upper estimate price exceeded by 25 %.
The work Meeting Place (Shopping) by Norman Lewis was sold in the American Art auction at Sothebys in New York in May 2013. It achieved a price of USD 125,000.00 (€ 96,242.69), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 25%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Norman Lewis achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Ritual in November 2019 with an auction result of USD 2,780,000.00 (€ 2,522,914.97).
