Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Head Iii by Geoffrey Clarke was sold in the Modern & Post-War British Art auction at Sothebys in London in November 2020. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 8,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 8,190.00 (€ 9,142.80). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Geoffrey Clarke - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Man, which sold at auction in November 2010 for GBP 27,500.00 (€ 32,862.46).
