Sold at the upper estimate price
The work (I) Untitled(Ii) Untitled by Al Taylor was sold in the First Open: Post-War & Contemporary Art Online auction at Christies in London in March 2021. The auction ended at the price of GBP 6,000.00 (€ 7,048.45), which exactly corresponded to the upper end of the estimated price range of GBP 4,000.00 – 6,000.00. Admittedly, works by Al Taylor have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work The Peabody Group, #9 - 1992 in October last year with an auction result of EUR 40,672.00.
