Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
The work Lovers by Austin Wright was worth GBP 7,750.00 (€ 9,203.26) to a buyer in April 2017. This price was achieved in the auction Made in Britain at Sothebys in London and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of GBP 2,000.00 many times over. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Austin Wright - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Lovers, which sold at auction in November 2019 for GBP 18,125.00 (€ 21,283.18).
