Auction result well in line with expectations
In December 2009 Sothebys in Toronto held the auction Important Canadian Art, which included the work Northern Lake by Lawren Stewart Harris. It changed hands for a price of CAD 244,000.00 (€ 162,740.44) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of CAD 150,000.00 – 250,000.00. Admittedly, works by Lawren Stewart Harris have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Mountain Sketch LXIII in November last year with an auction result of USD 882,000.00 (€ 854,402.79).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Dezember 2009 führte Sothebys in Toronto die Auktion Important Canadian Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Northern Lake von Lawren Stewart Harris zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von CAD 244.000,00 (€ 162.740,44) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von CAD 150.000,00 – 250.000,00. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Lawren Stewart Harris auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Mountain Sketch LXIII im November letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 882.000,00 (€ 854.402,79).
