Artwork auctioned at seven times the upper estimate price
The work Untitled, 1959 by Carla Prina was worth GBP 21,500.00 (€ 24,017.42) to a buyer in December 2020. This price was achieved in the auction Modern & Contemporary Art at Bonhams in London and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of GBP 3,000.00 many times over.
