Auction result well in line with expectations
The work A reredos depicting the Ascension of Christ, surrounded by the Four Evangelists, for Holy Trinity Church, Bournemouth by Byam Shaw was auctioned at Christies in London in December 2018. It changed hands for a price of GBP 28,750.00 (€ 32,030.05) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of GBP 20,000.00 – 30,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Byam Shaw achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Queen of Hearts in December 2020 with an auction result of GBP 790,500.00 (€ 883,058.95).
