A top price for David Butler
When the work Walking Stick with Figure, circa 1975 by David Butler was auctioned at Christies in New York in February last year, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 8,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than seven times as high at USD 62,500.00 (€ 55,684.25). This high result makes Walking Stick with Figure, circa 1975 the most expensive artwork by David Butler that we have observed at auctions so far.
