This artwork by Pablo Gargallo achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in December 2016. In the From Ancient To Modern: A Distinguished Private Collection auction, the work Kiki de Montparnasse sold for GBP 341,000.00 (€ 398,684.33) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 120,000.00. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Pablo Gargallo; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Masque D'Arlequin Souriant Iii, 1927 sold at auction in October 2007 with the realized price of EUR 490,896.00.
