Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Fred Cuming achieved an unexpectedly high price at Bonhams in London in April 2021. In the Modern British and Irish Art auction, the work Cutty Sark sold for GBP 4,462.50 (€ 5,133.17) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 1,500.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Fred Cuming - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Setting Sun Across the Bay, which sold at auction in November 2021 for GBP 8,925.00 (€ 10,478.79).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
