Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Leon Kossoff could be acquired at Christies in London in September 2020 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Modern British Art auction, the work From Rembrandt: The Blinding of Samson changed hands for GBP 10,000.00 (€ 11,026.63) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 12,000.00 – 18,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Leon Kossoff achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Willesden Junction - Autumn Afternoon in November 2018 with an auction result of GBP 1,388,750.00 (€ 1,566,467.81).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Leon Kossoff konnte im September 2020 bei Christies in London für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Modern British Art wechselte die Arbeit From Rembrandt: The Blinding of Samson für GBP 10.000,00 (€ 11.026,63) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 12.000,00 – 18.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Leon Kossoff erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Willesden Junction - Autumn Afternoon im November 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 1.388.750,00 (€ 1.566.467,81).
