The work The Blackboard by Yannis Kottis was sold in the Post Warand Contemporary ArtDay Auction auction at Christies in London in July 2010. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 20,000.00 (€ 24,047.75), 33% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Yannis Kottis - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Blue Bicycle, which sold at auction in May 2007 for GBP 48,000.00 (€ 70,635.25).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 33 % übertroffen
