Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%

This artwork by Sam Levin achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in November 2011. In the Photographs auction, the work Brigitte Bardot (The Chair Session), 1967 sold for GBP 1,875.00 (€ 2,188.87) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 800.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Sam Levin - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Brigitte Bardot, c. 1967 (3); Liv Ullmann, 1960s; Mylene Demongeot, 1960s; Catherine Deneuve, c. 1967, which sold at auction in February 2007 for USD 6,600.00 (€ 4,988.66).

Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen

Dieses Kunstwerk von Sam Levin erzielte im November 2011 bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Photographs wurde die Arbeit Brigitte Bardot (The Chair Session), 1967 für GBP 1.875,00 (€ 2.188,87) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 800,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Sam Levin mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Brigitte Bardot, c. 1967 (3); Liv Ullmann, 1960s; Mylene Demongeot, 1960s; Catherine Deneuve, c. 1967 beobachtet, die im Februar 2007 für USD 6.600,00 (€ 4.988,66) versteigert wurde.
