Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Moondust by Denis Bowen was sold in the Modern British and Irish Art auction at Bonhams in London in April 2021. It achieved a price of GBP 1,785.00 (€ 2,053.27), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 19%. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Denis Bowen - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Form Through Action, which sold at auction in November 2017 for GBP 5,000.00 (€ 5,675.74).
