A top price for John Hubbard
When the work Shah Nameh Landscape overall, in two parts by John Hubbard was auctioned at Bonhams in London in September 2020, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 2,500.00 but the actual price achieved was more than eight times as high at GBP 20,062.50 (€ 22,122.17). This high result makes Shah Nameh Landscape overall, in two parts the most expensive artwork by John Hubbard that we have observed at auctions so far.
