A top price for David Gilmour Blythe
When the work Family Prayers and The Sequel: A Pair of Works by David Gilmour Blythe was auctioned at Christies in New York in January 2024, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 60,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at USD 252,000.00 (€ 220,241.22). This high result makes Family Prayers and The Sequel: A Pair of Works the most expensive artwork by David Gilmour Blythe that we have observed at auctions so far.
