Despite a disappointment, a good price for Pierre Louys
This work of art by Pierre Louys could be acquired at Sothebys in London in November 2014 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Czech Avant-Garde Art from the Roy and Mary Cullen Collection auction, the work Swiss pybrac. Prague: Edice Lotos, 1932 changed hands for GBP 5,000.00 (€ 6,286.38) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 7,000.00 – 10,000.00. Despite this disappointing result, Swiss pybrac.
