A top price for Addison Thomas Millar
When the work Inspecting the Sword by Addison Thomas Millar was auctioned at Sothebys in London in October 2021, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 20,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at GBP 88,200.00 (€ 104,493.18). This high result makes Inspecting the Sword the most expensive artwork by Addison Thomas Millar that we have observed at auctions so far.
