Auction result well in line with expectations
The work "My old man wasn't too well before his holiday - but he's picked up a bit since he came down here!" by Pedro was auctioned at Christies in London in December 2004. The price achieved of GBP 131.45 (€ 186.04) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 100.00 – 200.00. Admittedly, works by Pedro have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work 'The Stiffness Hasn'T Actually Gone - But It'S Shifted' in March 2006 with an auction result of GBP 780.00 (€ 1,117.60).
