Upper estimate price exceeded by 64 %.
The work Profile of a Woman (M. 82; B. 436) by Pablo Picasso was sold in the PICASSO LITHOGRAPHS: THEMES AND VARIATIONS auction at Christies in New York in April 2003. The »bidding war« ended at USD 6,572.50 (€ 5,352.20), 64% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Pablo Picasso achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Les femmes d'Alger (Version 'O') in May 2015 with an auction result of USD 179,365,000.00 (€ 163,148,080.77).

Die Arbeit Profile of a Woman (M. 82; B. 436) von Pablo Picasso wurde im April 2003 in der Auktion PICASSO LITHOGRAPHS: THEMES AND VARIATIONS bei Christies in New York versteigert. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 6.572,50 (€ 5.352,20) und damit 64% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Pablo Picasso erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Les femmes d'Alger (Version 'O') im Mai 2015 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 179.365.000,00 (€ 163.148.080,77).
