This artwork by Leslie Hurry achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in June 2002. In the British Art on Paper including Original Book Illustrations auction, the work Alone She Stood sold for GBP 352.50 (€ 545.24) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 200.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Leslie Hurry achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Dead Of Night in November 2012 with an auction result of GBP 8,125.00 (€ 10,009.18).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 76 % übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Leslie Hurry erzielte im Juni 2002 bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion British Art on Paper including Original Book Illustrations wurde die Arbeit Alone She Stood für GBP 352,50 (€ 545,24) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 200,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Leslie Hurry erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Dead Of Night im November 2012 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 8.125,00 (€ 10.009,18).
