This artwork by Frederic Leighton achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in September 2021. In the An Aesthetic Odyssey: The Peter Rose and Albert Gallichan Collection auction, the work Preliminary Sketch For 'Greek Girls Playing At Ball' sold for GBP 13,750.00 (€ 15,998.32) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 5,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Frederic Leighton achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Golden Hours in June 2016 with an auction result of GBP 3,274,500.00 (€ 3,930,468.55).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Frederic Leighton erzielte im September 2021 bei Christies einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion An Aesthetic Odyssey: The Peter Rose and Albert Gallichan Collection wurde die Arbeit Preliminary Sketch For 'Greek Girls Playing At Ball' für GBP 13.750,00 (€ 15.998,32) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 5.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Frederic Leighton erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Golden Hours im Juni 2016 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 3.274.500,00 (€ 3.930.468,55).
