The work Two Slabs With Five Bars by Geoffrey Clarke was sold in the Modern British and Irish Art auction at Bonhams in London in December 2020. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 8,287.50 (€ 9,257.88), 66% above the upper estimate. 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).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 66 % übertroffen
