Sold at the upper estimate price

The work Stroll With Balloons by Hughie Lee-Smith was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in November 2016. The auction ended at the price of USD 50,000.00 (€ 47,267.91), which exactly corresponded to the upper end of the estimated price range of USD 30,000.00 – 50,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Hughie Lee-Smith - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Indecision II, which sold at auction in December 2021 for USD 118,750.00 (€ 104,921.36).

Zuschlag beim oberen Schätzpreis

Die Arbeit Stroll With Balloons von Hughie Lee-Smith kam im November 2016 bei Sothebys in New York zur Auktion. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von USD 50.000,00 (€ 47.267,91) entsprach exakt dem oberen Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 30.000,00 – 50.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Hughie Lee-Smith mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Indecision II beobachtet, die im Dezember 2021 für USD 118.750,00 (€ 104.921,36) versteigert wurde.
