Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Houses In Sunlight by Robert Bevan was sold in the Modern & Post-War British Art auction at Sothebys in London in November 2020. The price achieved of GBP 277,200.00 (€ 309,448.74) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 250,000.00 – 350,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Robert Bevan - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Hansom Cab, which sold at auction in November 2019 for GBP 531,000.00 (€ 623,523.82).
