Upper estimate price exceeded by 56 %.
The work Weeping Hydrant by Mark Handforth was auctioned at Sothebys in London in February 2015. It achieved a price of GBP 62,500.00 (€ 86,178.22), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 56%. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Mark Handforth; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Bent Pipe sold at auction in February 2007 with the realized price of USD 198,000.00 (€ 149,659.86).
