Upper estimate price exceeded by 25 %.
The work Bird by Charles Prendergast was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in September 2008. It achieved a price of USD 25,000.00 (€ 17,754.42), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 25%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Charles Prendergast achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Fantasy in May 2019 with an auction result of USD 704,075.00 (€ 631,514.04).
