Sir Denys Lasdun (1914-2001) was an eminent English architect, celebrated for his commitment to Modernist ideals and his contribution to the British urban landscape. Having started his career at Wells Coates’ practice, he would go on to build 32 Newton Road, a house in Paddington which strictly followed Le Corbusier’s domino principle, and would later become Ronald Searle’s residence. Lasdun’s social commitment was demonstrated in commissions for Hallfield Primary School, cluster blocks
Christie’s are delighted to offer works from Sir Denys and Lady Lasdun’s collection across our Modern British, Russian Art and Prints sales taking place in November. Their expertly curated collection pays tribute to the importance art played in the Lasdun family, with many works acquired directly from the artists whom the couple counted as close friends: Mary Fedden, Prunella Clough, Louis le Brocquy, Leonard Rosoman and Stefan Knapp, amongst others.

Sold at the upper estimate price
The work Two Forms by Geoffrey Clarke was sold in the Modern/British Art Online auction at Christies in London in November 2017. The auction ended at the price of GBP 2,500.00 (€ 2,837.87), which exactly corresponded to the upper end of the estimated price range of GBP 1,500.00 – 2,500.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Geoffrey Clarke achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Man in November 2010 with an auction result of GBP 27,500.00 (€ 32,862.46).

Die Arbeit Two Forms von Geoffrey Clarke wurde im November 2017 in der Auktion Modern/British Art Online bei Christies in London versteigert. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von GBP 2.500,00 (€ 2.837,87) entsprach exakt dem oberen Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 1.500,00 – 2.500,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Geoffrey Clarke erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Man im November 2010 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 27.500,00 (€ 32.862,46).
