Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work Up On The Roof by Michael Leonard was auctioned at Sothebys in London in September 2020, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 3,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 9,450.00 (€ 10,420.16). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Michael Leonard; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Scaffolders sold at auction in September 2017 with the realized price of GBP 15,000.00 (€ 17,017.69).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Up On The Roof von Michael Leonard im September 2020 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 3.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 9.450,00 (€ 10.420,16) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Michael Leonard; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit Scaffolders im September 2017 mit dem Hammerpreis von GBP 15.000,00 (€ 17.017,69).
