A top price for Egon Schiele - as previously expected
The work Häuser Mit Bunter Wäsche (Vorstadt Ii) Houses With Laundry (Suburb Ii) by Egon Schiele was sold in the Impressionist & Modern Art Evening Sale auction at Sothebys in London in June 2011. The price achieved of GBP 24,681,250.00 (€ 27,305,215.43) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 22,000,000.00 – 30,000,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Häuser Mit Bunter Wäsche (Vorstadt Ii) Houses With Laundry (Suburb Ii) is the most expensive artwork by Egon Schiele that we have observed at auctions so far.
