Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Seated Young Man by Polychronis Lembessis was sold in the The Male Form auction at Bonhams in London in June 2021. The price achieved of GBP 18,375.00 (€ 21,411.65) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 15,000.00 – 20,000.00. Admittedly, works by Polychronis Lembessis have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Greek Girl With Distaff And Spindle in November 2008 with an auction result of GBP 103,250.00 (€ 124,837.01).
