Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work The Archaeologist by Leon Underwood was sold in the Modern British and Irish Art auction at Bonhams in London in April 2021. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 5,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 5,100.00 (€ 5,866.48). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Leon Underwood achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Sungirl in June 2011 with an auction result of GBP 91,250.00 (€ 100,951.16).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Die Arbeit The Archaeologist von Leon Underwood wurde im April 2021 in der Auktion Modern British and Irish Art bei Bonhams in London versteigert. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von GBP 5.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für GBP 5.100,00 (€ 5.866,48) einen neuen Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Leon Underwood erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Sungirl im Juni 2011 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 91.250,00 (€ 100.951,16).
