Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Leoncillo achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in Milan in May 2021. In the Contemporary Art | Milan auction, the work San Sebastiano bianco sold for EUR 569,100.00 - well above the upper estimate of EUR 250,000.00. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Leoncillo; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Grande Mutilazione sold at auction in November 2018 with the realized price of EUR 969,000.00.
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Leoncillo erzielte im Mai 2021 bei Sothebys in Mailand einen unerwartet hohen Preis.
