Artwork auctioned at five times the upper estimate price
The work Self Portrait with a Beer Stein by Philip Evergood was worth USD 28,050.00 (€ 27,868.85) to a buyer in August last year. This price was achieved in the auction American Art at Bonhams in New York and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of USD 5,000.00 many times over. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Philip Evergood - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Dog Bite Clinic, which sold at auction in May 2004 for USD 71,700.00 (€ 58,688.71).
