In March 2011 Christies in London held the auction 20th Century British Art, which included the work A French Comedian by Therese Lessore. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 1,625.00 (€ 1,838.68), 63% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Therese Lessore - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Orchestra, which sold at auction in March 2017 for GBP 5,000.00 (€ 5,859.51).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 63 % übertroffen
Im März 2011 führte Christies in London die Auktion 20th Century British Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit A French Comedian von Therese Lessore zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 1.625,00 (€ 1.838,68) und damit 63% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von Therese Lessore mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The Orchestra beobachtet, die im März 2017 für GBP 5.000,00 (€ 5.859,51) versteigert wurde.
