A top price for Richard Jack - as previously expected

The work The Toast by Richard Jack was auctioned at Christies in London in November 2003. It changed hands for a price of GBP 94,850.00 (€ 136,158.58) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of GBP 70,000.00 – 100,000.00.
