A top price for Henry Barlow Carter
When the work Mont Orgueil, Jersey by Henry Barlow Carter was auctioned at Christies in London in November 2010, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 1,200.00 but the actual price achieved was more than six times as high at GBP 7,500.00 (€ 8,962.49). This high result makes Mont Orgueil, Jersey the most expensive artwork by Henry Barlow Carter that we have observed at auctions so far.
