A top price for Cecil King

In October 2006 Sothebys in London held the auction Post War and Contemporary Irish Art, which included the work Intrusion 1972 by Cecil King. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 10,200.00 (€ 15,239.71), 70% above the upper estimate. This high result makes Intrusion 1972 the most expensive artwork by Cecil King that we have observed at auctions so far.
