Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Alfred Wallis achieved an unexpectedly high price at Bonhams in London in June last year. In the Modern British and Irish Art auction, the work Mount's Bay with St Michael's Mount sold for GBP 120,000.00 (€ 139,405.86) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 50,000.00. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Alfred Wallis; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot St Ives Bay With Godrevy sold at auction in May 2012 with the realized price of GBP 145,250.00 (€ 180,975.11).
