Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Weeping Hydrant by Mark Handforth was auctioned at Sothebys in London in February 2016. It changed hands for a price of GBP 37,500.00 (€ 48,051.62) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of GBP 30,000.00 – 40,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Mark Handforth - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Bent Pipe, which sold at auction in February 2007 for USD 198,000.00 (€ 149,659.86).
