Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price

The work Lough Muck, Connemara by Martin Mooney was worth GBP 2,585.00 (€ 4,048.14) to a buyer in May 2002. This price was achieved in the auction THE IRISH SALE at Christies in London and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of GBP 800.00 many times over. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Martin Mooney - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Santa Maria della Salute from the Redentore, Venice, which sold at auction in May 2008 for GBP 11,875.00 (€ 15,105.52).
