Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Thérèse by Paul Gauguin was auctioned at Christies in New York in November 2015. It achieved a price of USD 30,965,000.00 (€ 29,317,364.14), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 24%. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Paul Gauguin - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Maternité II, which sold at auction in November last year for USD 105,730,000.00 (€ 102,421,776.62).
