Auction result well in line with expectations
In March 2021 Christies in London held the auction Modern British Art Evening Sale, which included the work Head Of Frank Auerbach by Leon Kossoff. The price achieved of GBP 125,000.00 (€ 146,842.80) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 100,000.00 – 150,000.00. 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 im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im März 2021 führte Christies in London die Auktion Modern British Art Evening Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit Head Of Frank Auerbach von Leon Kossoff zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 125.000,00 (€ 146.842,80) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 100.000,00 – 150.000,00 angegeben worden. 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).
