In October 2017 Phillips in London held the auction 20th Century & Contemporary Art Day Sale, which included the work Merrit Island by Leo Gabin. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 8,750.00 (€ 9,976.71), 46% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Leo Gabin - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work French Braid Tutorial, which sold at auction in September 2014 for USD 47,500.00 (€ 37,614.82).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 46 % übertroffen
Im Oktober 2017 führte Phillips in London die Auktion 20th Century & Contemporary Art Day Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit Merrit Island von Leo Gabin zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 8.750,00 (€ 9.976,71) und damit 46% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von Leo Gabin mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit French Braid Tutorial beobachtet, die im September 2014 für USD 47.500,00 (€ 37.614,82) versteigert wurde.
