Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price
The work Green Line Intrusion by Dorothy Fratt was worth USD 52,500.00 (€ 45,446.68) to a buyer in October 2021. This price was achieved in the auction Post-War to Present at Christies and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of USD 12,000.00 many times over. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Dorothy Fratt; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Day Moon sold at auction in September last year with the realized price of USD 52,920.00 (€ 54,093.84).
