Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work 756 elephants on the TSAVO Border in "STARVO" / for The End of the Game / Last word from Paradise by Peter Beard was auctioned at Phillips in London in November this year. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 25,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 25,400.00 (€ 29,433.08). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Peter Beard achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Orphaned Cheetah Cubs, Mweiga, near Nyeri, Kenya, March 1968 in October 2017 with an auction result of USD 672,500.00 (€ 577,352.34).
