Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price
The work French Crabber by Alan Lowndes was worth GBP 21,500.00 (€ 25,213.21) to a buyer in July 2021. This price was achieved in the auction Modern British and Irish Art at Bonhams in London and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of GBP 5,000.00 many times over. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Alan Lowndes - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Putting To Sea, which sold at auction in December 2015 for GBP 64,900.00 (€ 88,131.08).
