Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price

The work ‘Sisyphus...’ by Peter Brookes was worth GBP 5,250.00 (€ 5,977.41) to a buyer in March 2018. This price was achieved in the auction The Political Cartoon Collection of Jeffrey Archer at Sothebys in London and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of GBP 1,200.00 many times over. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Peter Brookes; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot ‘Retire? Pah! Sir Alex Schmalex...’ sold at auction in March 2018 with the realized price of GBP 8,125.00 (€ 9,250.76).
