A top price for Lesbia Thorpe - as previously expected
The work Sea Birds by Lesbia Thorpe was auctioned at Christies in Sydney in August 2004. The price achieved of AUD 1,792.50 (€ 1,040.37) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as AUD 1,500.00 – 2,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Sea Birds is the most expensive artwork by Lesbia Thorpe that we have observed at auctions so far.
