Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In October this year Christies in New York held the auction Modern British and Irish Art Day Sale, which included the work Old Berwick by Laurence Stephen Lowry. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 40,320.00 (€ 46,298.56), 15% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Laurence Stephen Lowry achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Going to the Match in October last year with an auction result of GBP 7,846,500.00 (€ 9,141,085.62).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im Oktober diesen Jahres führte Christies in New York die Auktion Modern British and Irish Art Day Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit Old Berwick von Laurence Stephen Lowry zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 40.320,00 (€ 46.298,56) und damit 15% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Laurence Stephen Lowry erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Going to the Match im Oktober letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 7.846.500,00 (€ 9.141.085,62).
