Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In November 2006 Christies in London held the auction The Poetry of Crisis; The Peter Nahum Collection of British Surrealist and Avant-Garde Art 1930-1951, which included the work Composition With A Seated Figure by Augustus Lunn. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 7,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 7,200.00 (€ 10,692.23). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Augustus Lunn - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Gale Warning, which sold at auction in November 2019 for GBP 32,500.00 (€ 38,162.95).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im November 2006 führte Christies in London die Auktion The Poetry of Crisis; The Peter Nahum Collection of British Surrealist and Avant-Garde Art 1930-1951 durch, in der auch die Arbeit Composition With A Seated Figure von Augustus Lunn zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von GBP 7.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für GBP 7.200,00 (€ 10.692,23) einen neuen Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Augustus Lunn mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Gale Warning beobachtet, die im November 2019 für GBP 32.500,00 (€ 38.162,95) versteigert wurde.
