Leonardo Bear makes £7.5m Hammer
July 8 2021
Picture: Christie's
Posted by Adam Busiakiewicz:
Leonardo's drawing of a Bear came in just under its £8m - £12m estimate today and hammered down at £7.5m. The total including fees adds up to £8,857,500. This was a little less than expected, especially considering the enormous amount of media coverage the work generated. We'll wait and see if it ends up anywhere interesting...
