oil on board
90.5 x 75cm (35 5/8 x 29 1/2in).
With Browse & Darby, London, where acquired by the present owner, 15 December 1988 | Private Collection, U.K.

Upper estimate price exceeded by 81 %.

This artwork by Ben Levene achieved an unexpectedly high price at Bonhams in London in July 2021. In the Modern British and Irish Art auction, the work Pink Azalea sold for GBP 2,167.50 (€ 2,541.84) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 1,200.00. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Ben Levene; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Still Life With Begonia sold at auction in September 2006 with the realized price of GBP 3,360.00 (€ 4,956.71).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 81 % übertroffen
