Upper estimate price exceeded by 44 %.
The work Modern Head #1, from Modern Head Series (G. 242, C. 91) by Roy Lichtenstein was auctioned at Phillips in London in June this year. It achieved a price of GBP 21,590.00 (€ 25,127.04), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 44%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Roy Lichtenstein achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Nurse in November 2015 with an auction result of USD 95,365,000.00 (€ 90,290,664.65).

Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Nurse im November 2015 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 95.365.000,00 (€ 90.290.664,65).
