A top price for Harry Brooker - as previously expected
The work A Critical Moment (A House of Cards) by Harry Brooker was auctioned at Christies in London in February 2003. The price achieved of GBP 32,265.00 (€ 47,105.88) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 25,000.00 – 35,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, A Critical Moment (A House of Cards) is the most expensive artwork by Harry Brooker that we have observed at auctions so far.
