Auction result well in line with expectations
In June 2016 Christies in London held the auction Modern British & Irish Art Evening Sale, which included the work Fruit in a Bowl, Striped Background (II) by Matthew Smith. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 100,000.00 – 15,000,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 158,500.00 (€ 190,251.72) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Other works by Matthew Smith have already achieved higher auction prices, for example, in January 2020 the work Connie Martin was auctioned for GBP 212,500.00 (€ 252,766.38).
