Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Craigie Aitchison achieved an unexpectedly high price at Bonhams in London in November last year. In the Modern British and Irish Art auction, the work Mixed flowers 40.6 x 40.6 cm. (16 x 16 in.) Painted circa 1956 sold for GBP 16,575.00 (€ 19,206.64) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 8,000.00. Admittedly, works by Craigie Aitchison have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Nandi Bull in Front of Temple III in November 2021 with an auction result of GBP 138,600.00 (€ 162,729.44).
