Artwork auctioned at six times the upper estimate price
The work Head by John McHale was worth GBP 10,000.00 (€ 10,783.50) to a buyer in March 2009. This price was achieved in the auction 20th Century British Art including The Olga Davenport Collection at Christies in London and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of GBP 1,500.00 many times over. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by John McHale - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Telemath, which sold at auction in November 2015 for GBP 17,500.00 (€ 24,926.15).
