Auction result well in line with expectations
The work The Second Meanie Tree (Upasine And Lethean - Lex Talionis) by John Boyd was auctioned at Christies in London in June 2005. The price achieved of GBP 4,560.00 (€ 6,758.21) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 4,000.00 – 6,000.00. 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).
