A top price for Daryl Lindsay

When the work Sylphides; And Dancers Backstage by Daryl Lindsay was auctioned at Sothebys in London in September 2009, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 1,200.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 4,250.00 (€ 4,649.15). This high result makes Sylphides; And Dancers Backstage the most expensive artwork by Daryl Lindsay that we have observed at auctions so far.
