Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price
The work Didling on the Downs by Ivon Hitchens was worth GBP 75,900.00 (€ 88,174.21) to a buyer in June last year. This price was achieved in the auction Modern British and Irish Art at Bonhams in London and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of GBP 18,000.00 many times over. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Ivon Hitchens - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Still Life with Azaleas, which sold at auction in January 2020 for GBP 275,000.00 (€ 327,109.44).
