A record-breaking autumn auction 2022

Several records were broken at Allee gallery’s 2022 autumn auction, including personal bests for Roman Nyman, Leonhard Lapin, Jüri Arrak and Juhan Püttsepp. The TOP 5 pieces and prices were as follows:

  1. Roman Nyman “Sestri Levante” – 52 000 Eur
  2. Leonhard Lapin “Bunny’s kiss” – 45 000 Eur
  3. Juhan Püttsepp “Foraging” – 38 500 Eur
  4. Johannes Võerahansu “Nüpli motif” – 36 000 Eur
  5. Jüri Arrak “Giraffe” – 34 000 Eur

The biggest percentual rise from the 100 available pieces went to “Kaali crater” by Varmo Pirk which quintupled its starting price, with Leonhard Lapin’s “Bunny’s kiss” following close behind.

An additional record that was broken was for the single highest daily turnover for a single auction in Estonian history.
