Upper estimate price exceeded by 66 %.

The work Plunging seas by David James was sold in the The Marine Sale auction at Bonhams in London in April last year. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 58,260.00 (€ 69,472.99), 66% above the upper estimate. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by David James; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Cornish Rollers sold at auction in December 2017 with the realized price of GBP 75,000.00 (€ 84,401.51).
