A top price for Lajos Tihanyi
The work Portrait of Tersánszky Józsi Jeno by Lajos Tihanyi was sold in the Impressionist and Modern Art Day Sale auction at Christies in London in February 2019. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 50,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 52,500.00 (€ 61,243.08).
