Auction result well in line with expectations
The work A pied wagtail and a grey wagtail by classical ruins on a forest floor; and Three wallcreepers by classical ruins on a forest floor by Heinrich Lihl was sold in the Old Masters & British Paintings auction at Christies in London in July 2013. The price achieved of GBP 6,250.00 (€ 7,141.71) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 5,000.00 – 8,000.00. Admittedly, works by Heinrich Lihl have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work A White Wolf In A Landscape in July 2012 with an auction result of GBP 22,500.00 (€ 28,658.95).
