Upper estimate price exceeded by 28 %.
The work The Sacrifice by Desmond Morris was auctioned at Bonhams in London in November this year. It achieved a price of GBP 2,560.00 (€ 2,966.48), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 28%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Desmond Morris achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Courtship in November 2021 with an auction result of EUR 56,250.00.
