Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Still Life with Ladder by Samuel Bak was auctioned at Christies in London in February 2018. The price achieved of GBP 8,125.00 (€ 9,178.30) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 7,000.00 – 10,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Samuel Bak - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Blue Flag, which sold at auction in December 2016 for USD 35,000.00 (€ 33,169.07).
