A top price for John Lawrence - as previously expected
The work Bigwig leading Hazel, Dandelion, Fiver, Silver and Pipkin away from the ditch; The Black rabbit; and Bigwig by John Lawrence was auctioned at Christies in London in July 2003. The price achieved of GBP 2,585.00 (€ 3,378.77) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 2,000.00 – 3,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Bigwig leading Hazel, Dandelion, Fiver, Silver and Pipkin away from the ditch; The Black rabbit; and Bigwig is the most expensive artwork by John Lawrence that we have observed at auctions so far.
