A top price for Pere Lembrí - as previously expected
In July 2020 Christies in London held the auction Classic Art Evening Sale: Antiquity to 20th Century, which included the work The Coronation of the Virgin by Pere Lembrí. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 50,000.00 – 80,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 56,250.00 (€ 62,742.59) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Even if this result could not surprise positively, The Coronation of the Virgin is the most expensive artwork by Pere Lembrí that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Im Juli 2020 führte Christies in London die Auktion Classic Art Evening Sale: Antiquity to 20th Century durch, in der auch die Arbeit The Coronation of the Virgin von Pere Lembrí zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 50.000,00 – 80.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 56.250,00 (€ 62.742,59) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist The Coronation of the Virgin das teuerste Kunstwerk von Pere Lembrí, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
