Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%

This artwork by Bud Fraker achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in September 2017. In the Audrey Hepburn: The Personal Collection auction, the work Audrey Hepburn, circa 1954 sold for GBP 4,375.00 (€ 4,963.49) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 1,500.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Bud Fraker achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Audrey Hepburn, circa 1956 in September 2017 with an auction result of GBP 56,250.00 (€ 63,816.35).
