Upper estimate price exceeded by 49 %.
The work Filet dans la Rue Éternelle by John Wells was sold in the Modern British and Irish Art auction at Bonhams in London in December 2020. It achieved a price of GBP 1,785.00 (€ 1,994.00), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 49%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by John Wells achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Structure In Oval in November 2012 with an auction result of GBP 55,250.00 (€ 68,062.39).

Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von GBP 1.785,00 (€ 1.994,00) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 49%.
