Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Le 14 juillet by Fernand Léger was sold in the Living the Avant-Garde: The Triton Collection Foundation, Evening Sale Part I auction at Phillips in New York in November this year. The price achieved of USD 17,625,000.00 (€ 16,157,865.79) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 15,000,000.00 – 20,000,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Fernand Léger - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Contraste de formes, which sold at auction in November 2017 for USD 70,062,500.00 (€ 58,885,947.22).
