Sold at the upper estimate price
In June 2007 Christies in London held the auction 20th Century British Art, which included the work Oh where, Oh where can Gyp and Barney be! by Helen Layfield Bradley. The auction ended at the price of GBP 12,000.00 (€ 17,807.40), which exactly corresponded to the upper end of the estimated price range of GBP 8,000.00 – 12,000.00. Admittedly, works by Helen Layfield Bradley have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Our First Morning in Blackpool in November 2007 with an auction result of GBP 94,100.00 (€ 131,764.35).
