This artwork by August Strindberg achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in February this year. In the 20th/21st Century: London Evening Sale auction, the work Blomman på heden (Flower of the Moor) sold for GBP 1,602,000.00 (€ 1,827,295.42) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 900,000.00. Admittedly, works by August Strindberg have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Wave V in June last year with an auction result of GBP 6,797,800.00 (€ 7,897,109.91).
