Sothebys expect 100 million pounds from Impressionist sale
Published January 31st, 2007
In what could be the most valuable sale they have ever staged in Europe, auctioneers Sotheby’s said on Wednesday they expect to raise more than 100 million pounds ($195 million) from an Impressionists’ auction next week.
Many of the works have not been offered on the market for many years and among the highlights of Monday’s sale will be Pierre-August Renoir’s “Les Deux Soeurs,” which is expected to fetch up to 8 million pounds ($15.63 million).
It comes from the collection of Charles R. Lachman, one of the founding partners of the Revlon cosmetic empire.
