Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Rupert Shephard achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in June 2003. In the 20th Century British and Irish Art and the Collection of the auction, the work Chateau de Grignon III sold for GBP 956.00 (€ 1,373.82) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 350.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Rupert Shephard - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Native Women With Mats, which sold at auction in June 2005 for GBP 2,400.00 (€ 3,556.95).
