Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Peter Samuelson achieved an unexpectedly high price at Bonhams in London in November 2021. In the Modern British and Irish Art auction, the work Michael Rothwell, The Actor sold for GBP 3,187.50 (€ 3,742.42) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 1,200.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Peter Samuelson - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work John, which sold at auction in January 2008 for GBP 9,375.00 (€ 12,567.59).
