Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Lincoln Townley achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in London in March last year. In the Modern & Contemporary Day Auction auction, the work Bankers Code sold for GBP 126,000.00 (€ 149,387.18) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 45,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Lincoln Townley - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Dance with the Devil, which sold at auction in March last year for USD 378,000.00 (€ 340,755.43).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Lincoln Townley erzielte im März letzten Jahres bei Sothebys in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Modern & Contemporary Day Auction wurde die Arbeit Bankers Code für GBP 126.000,00 (€ 149.387,18) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 45.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Lincoln Townley mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Dance with the Devil beobachtet, die im März letzten Jahres für USD 378.000,00 (€ 340.755,43) versteigert wurde.
