Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
The work Dryad: Vine by Ithell Colquhoun was worth GBP 4,864.00 (€ 4,864.00) to a buyer in September this year. This price was achieved in the auction Blazing a TrailModern British Women at Bonhams in London and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of GBP 1,500.00 many times over. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Ithell Colquhoun achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Sunflower in September this year with an auction result of GBP 79,140.00 (€ 79,140.00).

Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Sunflower im September diesen Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 79.140,00 (€ 79.140,00).
