A top price for Alexander Phimister Proctor
When the work 'Indian Warrior' by Alexander Phimister Proctor was auctioned at Christies in New York in November 2011, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 30,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than five times as high at USD 158,500.00 (€ 117,817.59). This high result makes 'Indian Warrior' the most expensive artwork by Alexander Phimister Proctor that we have observed at auctions so far.
