Lev Meshberg
B.1930
RECLINING NUDE
signed with initials in Latin and dated '89' l.r.
oil on composite board
Lev Meshberg grew up in Odessa where he trained and worked before emigrating to the United States in 1973. His work has been exhibited in New York, San Francisco, Denver and Washington. He was principally a figurative artist and this delicate little oil painting is a beautiful example of his restrained palette and clever use of impasto layers. It comes to auction directly from the artist’s family. 
oil on composite board
Board: 7 3/4 by 13 1/2 in., 19.5 by 34.5cm

Upper estimate price exceeded by 67 %.

The work Reclining Nude by Lev Meshberg was sold in the Escape Artists: The Non-Conformists Online auction at Sothebys in New York in October 2018. The »bidding war« ended at USD 2,500.00 (€ 2,206.14), 67% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Lev Meshberg - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Still life with shells, which sold at auction in November 2017 for GBP 7,500.00 (€ 8,513.62).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 67 % übertroffen
