Artwork auctioned at 12 times the upper estimate price
When the work South Works Steel Mill in Chicago, Illinois by Bernard Boutet de Monvel was auctioned at Christies in London in July 2021, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 35,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than 12 times as high at GBP 437,500.00 (€ 513,059.47). Admittedly, works by Bernard Boutet de Monvel have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work S.A.R. Le Maharadjah D'Indore in April 2016 with an auction result of EUR 2,499,000.00.
