The work Attilio by Donald Stuart Leslie Friend was sold in the Modern and Contemporary Australian Art with Works by 20th Century African Artists auction at Christies in London in October 2011. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 3,000.00 (€ 3,471.93), 50% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Donald Stuart Leslie Friend achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Australian Ayam2 Kesayangan: 1 A Miscellanea 1968-1978 in May 2007 with an auction result of AUD 336,000.00 (€ 206,600.16).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 50 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit Attilio von Donald Stuart Leslie Friend wurde im Oktober 2011 in der Auktion Modern and Contemporary Australian Art with Works by 20th Century African Artists bei Christies in London versteigert. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 3.000,00 (€ 3.471,93) und damit 50% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Donald Stuart Leslie Friend erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Australian Ayam2 Kesayangan: 1 A Miscellanea 1968-1978 im Mai 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von AUD 336.000,00 (€ 206.600,16).
