Auction result misses estimated price range
In September 2016 a collector was able to acquire the work Lucian Freud In His Studio With Two Paintings Of Leigh Bowery, 1993 by Bruce Bernard for GBP 2,125.00 (€ 2,461.01). This price was achieved in the auction Made in Britain at Sothebys in London and was even below the estimate range of GBP 2,500.00 – 3,500.00 set by the auction house. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Bruce Bernard achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work (i) Lucian Freud posing as a Henry Moore, 1983; (ii) Leigh Bowery and Nicola Bateman posing for 'And The Husband (1)', 1993; (iii) Lucian Freud standing with portrait of Leigh Bowery, 1990; (iv) Leigh Bowery posing for Lucian Freud's 'Leigh under th in October 2002 with an auction result of GBP 18,522.50 (€ 29,299.
