Auction result well in line with expectations
The work The famous Irish public school which celebrated its centenary this year: St. Columba's College, a view from the east, showing (left) the chapel, and (right) the dining-hall by Bryan de Grineau was sold in the Christie's Interiors auction at Christies in London in October 2014. The price achieved of GBP 437.50 (€ 558.62) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 300.00 – 500.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Bryan de Grineau achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work I Spy Strangers: Churchill in March 2018 with an auction result of GBP 5,000.00 (€ 5,692.78).
