A top price for Claire Harkess

When the work Three studies of pheasant in flight by Claire Harkess was auctioned at Christies in London in December 2017, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 1,800.00 but the actual price achieved was more than 11 times as high at GBP 21,250.00 (€ 23,913.76). This high result makes Three studies of pheasant in flight the most expensive artwork by Claire Harkess that we have observed at auctions so far.
