Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Circus Horses by Dora Carrington was auctioned at Sothebys in London in December 2010. It achieved a price of GBP 23,750.00 (€ 27,549.93), 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 Dora Carrington - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Flowers In A Two-Handled Vase, which sold at auction in November 2004 for GBP 59,750.00 (€ 85,950.05).
