Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work Francis Bacon, Charing Cross Road, London, 1984 by Neil Libbert was auctioned at Sothebys in London in March 2016, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 1,200.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 4,000.00 (€ 5,050.40). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Neil Libbert; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Francis Bacon, On His 80Th Birthday, 1989 sold at auction in March 2015 with the realized price of GBP 4,750.00 (€ 6,567.13).

Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Neil Libbert; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit Francis Bacon, On His 80Th Birthday, 1989 im März 2015 mit dem Hammerpreis von GBP 4.750,00 (€ 6.567,13).
