Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
The work St Just by Peter Lanyon was worth GBP 75,600.00 (€ 88,073.16) to a buyer in October last year. This price was achieved in the auction Modern British & Irish Art Day Sale at Christies in London and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of GBP 25,000.00 many times over. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Peter Lanyon achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Orpheus in November 2018 with an auction result of GBP 1,268,750.00 (€ 1,431,111.45).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Die Arbeit St Just von Peter Lanyon war einem Käufer im Oktober letzten Jahres GBP 75.600,00 (€ 88.073,16) wert. Dieser Preise wurde in der Auktion Modern British & Irish Art Day Sale bei Christies in London erzielt und übertraf den zuvor angesetzten oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 25.000,00 um ein Vielfaches. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Peter Lanyon erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Orpheus im November 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 1.268.750,00 (€ 1.431.111,45).
