The work Clare College, Cambridge by Hugh Casson was auctioned at Christies in London in April 2008. It achieved a price of GBP 812.50 (€ 1,035.82), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 35%. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Hugh Casson - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work An original architectural plan for the Festival of Britain, 1951, which sold at auction in December 2002 for GBP 1,645.00 (€ 2,525.16).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 35 % übertroffen
