Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price
The work Sean by Peter Cain was worth USD 40,000.00 (€ 33,861.00) to a buyer in September 2017. This price was achieved in the auction The Collection of Paul F. Walter at Christies in New York and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of USD 10,000.00 many times over. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Peter Cain - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Omega, which sold at auction in November 2019 for USD 77,500.00 (€ 70,333.06).
