Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%

This artwork by Robert Lenkiewicz achieved an unexpectedly high price at Bonhams in March this year. In the Modern British and Irish Art auction, the work Diogenes sold for GBP 4,080.00 (€ 4,641.79) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 2,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Robert Lenkiewicz achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Painter With Karen On The Studio Bed in March 2007 with an auction result of GBP 48,000.00 (€ 70,650.52).

Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen

Dieses Kunstwerk von Robert Lenkiewicz erzielte im März diesen Jahres bei Bonhams einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Modern British and Irish Art wurde die Arbeit Diogenes für GBP 4.080,00 (€ 4.641,79) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 2.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Robert Lenkiewicz erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Painter With Karen On The Studio Bed im März 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 48.000,00 (€ 70.650,52).
