A top price for George Back - as previously expected
The work HMS Terror off a spectacular iceberg, believed to be in the Davis Strait, between Canada and Greenland unframed by George Back was sold in the Travel & Exploration auction at Bonhams in London in February 2021. The price achieved of GBP 10,200.00 (€ 11,763.78) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 8,000.00 – 12,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, HMS Terror off a spectacular iceberg, believed to be in the Davis Strait, between Canada and Greenland unframed is the most expensive artwork by George Back that we have observed at auctions so far.
