This artwork by Ronald Moody achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in March 2021. In the Modern British Art Day Sale auction, the work Standing Female Torso sold for GBP 17,500.00 (€ 20,557.99) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 8,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Ronald Moody - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Man Kneeling, which sold at auction in March 2021 for GBP 37,500.00 (€ 44,052.84).

Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
