This artwork by Richard Hickam achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in December last year. In the First Open | Post-War & Contemporary Art auction, the work Untitled (Head of a Man) sold for USD 3,276.00 (€ 3,062.25) - well above the upper estimate of USD 1,500.00. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Richard Hickam; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Churchman sold at auction in September 2011 with the realized price of USD 7,500.00 (€ 5,576.62).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen

In der Auktion First Open | Post-War & Contemporary Art wurde die Arbeit Untitled (Head of a Man) für USD 3.276,00 (€ 3.062,25) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 1.500,00.
