Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Ossip Zadkine achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in February 2020. In the Impressionist & Modern Art Day Sale auction, the work Le retour de la fille prodigue sold for GBP 467,250.00 (€ 541,543.81) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 200,000.00. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Ossip Zadkine; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Tête de jeune garçon sold at auction in March 2017 with the realized price of GBP 797,000.00 (€ 934,005.33).
