Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In July this year Bonhams in Los Angeles held the auction Modern British and Irish Art, which included the work Three Happy Jumbos and Friends, the Luangwa Valley National Park in Zambia by David Shepherd. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 17,920.00 (€ 20,907.21), 19% above the upper estimate. Admittedly, works by David Shepherd have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work After the Rains - Evening in the Luangwa Valley, Zambia in December 2012 with an auction result of GBP 115,250.00 (€ 142,135.26).
