A top price for Hugh Casson - as previously expected
The work An original architectural plan for the Festival of Britain, 1951 by Hugh Casson was auctioned at Christies in London in December 2002. The price achieved of GBP 1,645.00 (€ 2,525.16) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 1,500.00 – 2,000.00.
