A top price for Neil Libbert
When the work Francis Bacon, On His 80Th Birthday, 1989 by Neil Libbert was auctioned at Sothebys in London in March 2015, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 1,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at GBP 4,750.00 (€ 6,567.13). This high result makes Francis Bacon, On His 80Th Birthday, 1989 the most expensive artwork by Neil Libbert that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Neil Libbert
Als die Arbeit Francis Bacon, On His 80Th Birthday, 1989 von Neil Libbert im März 2015 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 1.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 4.750,00 (€ 6.567,13) mehr als viermal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Francis Bacon, On His 80Th Birthday, 1989 zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Neil Libbert, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
