Bill Woodrow, R.A. (b. 1948)
Capitol File
metal box file, enamel and acrylic, unique
46½ in. (118 cm.) high
Conceived in 1985.

Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%

This artwork by Bill Woodrow achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in June 2014. In the Modern British & Irish Art Day Sale auction, the work Capitol File sold for GBP 10,625.00 (€ 13,275.43) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 5,000.00. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Bill Woodrow; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Round the Kitchen Table sold at auction in September 2015 with the realized price of USD 22,500.00 (€ 20,157.68).

Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
