Auction result well in line with expectations

The work Volto (Aung San Suu Kyi) by Francesca Leone was auctioned at Christies in London in October 2012. The price achieved of GBP 12,500.00 (€ 15,541.56) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 10,000.00 – 15,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Francesca Leone - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Flussi Immobili 18 (Motionless Flows 18), which sold at auction in September 2012 for GBP 30,000.00 (€ 37,644.68).
