A top price for Walter Lees
In July 2010 Christies in London held the auction Living with Design: The Collections of Walter Lees and Mr NC., which included the work Unknown by Walter Lees. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 1,000.00 (€ 1,202.39), 25% above the upper estimate. With this result, Unknown is even the most expensive work of art by Walter Lees that we have observed at auctions so far.
