Auction result misses estimated price range
In July 2021 a collector was able to acquire the work Special P by Derek Boshier for GBP 43,750.00 (€ 51,305.95). This price was achieved in the auction Post War and Contemporary Art Day Sale at Christies in London and was even below the estimate range of GBP 50,000.00 – 70,000.00 set by the auction house.
