Low Estimate (LE) Analysis
The star of the show at this Sotheby's sale is once again artist Andy Warhol with seven works of art listed with Low Estimates (LE) between 400,000 and 2.5 million GBP.

Jean-Michel Basquiat's work "Untitled (The Black Athlete)" features the highest Low Estimate (LE) of the sale with 3.5 million GBP.

Interesting names of artists can be found among the group of works with Low Estimates of less than 500,000 GBP: Cy Twombly, Louise Bourgeois, Ai Weiwei and Anselm Kiefer.

Particularly noticeable in this sale is the absence of guarantees. In fact only one work, "Untitled" by Agnes Marin comes with a guarantee.

There are also no irrevocable bids.
