A top price for Peter Voulkos - as previously expected
The work Untitled vase by Peter Voulkos was auctioned at Phillips in London in October 2018. The result of GBP 40,000.00 (€ 45,107.66) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 40,000.00 – 60,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Untitled vase is the most expensive artwork by Peter Voulkos that we have observed at auctions so far.
