A top price for Patrick Keohane - as previously expected
The work British Antarctic Expedition, 1910-13: Keohane's sledging flag, sewn and embroidered by him in the hut at Cape Evans, and carried by him on the expedition by Patrick Keohane was sold in the Exploration and Travel including the Polar Sale auction at Christies in London in September 2010. The price achieved of GBP 30,000.00 (€ 34,698.18) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 25,000.00 – 35,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, British Antarctic Expedition, 1910-13: Keohane's sledging flag, sewn and embroidered by him in the hut at Cape Evans, and carried by him on the expedition is the most expensive artwork by Patrick Keohane that we have observed at auctions so far.
