Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
The work Holocaust by Austin Osman Spare was worth GBP 19,125.00 (€ 21,758.38) to a buyer in March this year. This price was achieved in the auction Modern British and Irish Art at Bonhams and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of GBP 6,000.00 many times over. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Austin Osman Spare - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Nude, Charlotte Newman, which sold at auction in December 2015 for GBP 43,750.00 (€ 59,410.40).
