A top price for Lawrence Atkinson - as previously expected

The work Vorticist Composition by Lawrence Atkinson was auctioned at Christies in London in January 2020. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 100,000.00 – 150,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 112,500.00 (€ 133,817.50) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Vorticist Composition is the most expensive artwork by Lawrence Atkinson that we have observed at auctions so far.

Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage

Die Arbeit Vorticist Composition von Lawrence Atkinson kam im Januar 2020 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 100.000,00 – 150.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 112.500,00 (€ 133.817,50) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Vorticist Composition das teuerste Kunstwerk von Lawrence Atkinson, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
