Upper estimate price exceeded by 63 %.
In March 2019 Sothebys in London held the auction Made in Britain, which included the work Herald by Leon Underwood. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 3,250.00 (€ 3,772.18), 63% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Leon Underwood achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Sungirl in June 2011 with an auction result of GBP 91,250.00 (€ 100,951.16).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 63 % übertroffen
Im März 2019 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Made in Britain durch, in der auch die Arbeit Herald von Leon Underwood zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 3.250,00 (€ 3.772,18) und damit 63% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Leon Underwood erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Sungirl im Juni 2011 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 91.250,00 (€ 100.951,16).
