Auction result misses estimated price range
In September 2020 a collector was able to acquire the work $5 Win Window; Jockey With Saddle; Trainer'S Orders; In The Jockey'S Room: Four Works by Lee Townsend for USD 2,520.00 (€ 2,150.54). This price was achieved in the auction The Collection of Mr. and Mrs. Bertram R. Firestone at Sothebys in New York and was even below the estimate range of USD 4,000.00 – 6,000.00 set by the auction house. Admittedly, works by Lee Townsend have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work The Bookies in September 2020 with an auction result of USD 16,380.00 (€ 13,978.49).
