Upper estimate price exceeded by 39 %.
The work Schooner And Icebergs by Alfred Wallis was auctioned at Sothebys in London in November 2020. It achieved a price of GBP 69,300.00 (€ 77,362.19), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 39%. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Alfred Wallis - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work St Ives Bay With Godrevy, which sold at auction in May 2012 for GBP 145,250.00 (€ 180,975.11).
