Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Musicians And Figures Dancing by Percy Wyndham Lewis was auctioned at Sothebys in London in July 2020, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 12,000.00 – 18,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 8,750.00 (€ 9,759.96). Admittedly, works by Percy Wyndham Lewis have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Red portrait in June 2000 with an auction result of GBP 39,950.00 (€ 63,325.67).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Musicians And Figures Dancing von Percy Wyndham Lewis im Juli 2020 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 12.000,00 – 18.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 8.750,00 (€ 9.759,96) den Besitzer. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Percy Wyndham Lewis auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Red portrait im Juni 2000 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 39.950,00 (€ 63.325,67).
