This artwork by John Boyd achieved an unexpectedly high price at Bonhams in London in December 2020. In the Modern British and Irish Art auction, the work Observation of Angels sold for GBP 4,462.50 (€ 4,985.01) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 2,500.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by John Boyd - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Café, Fes, which sold at auction in November 2001 for GBP 10,575.00 (€ 16,828.16).
