A top price for David Thorpe
In October 2011 Christies in London held the auction Post-War & Contemporary Art Day Auction, which included the work Do What You Have To Do by David Thorpe. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 34,850.00 (€ 40,332.25), 74% above the upper estimate. This high result makes Do What You Have To Do the most expensive artwork by David Thorpe that we have observed at auctions so far.
