Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Red/Blue, Summer 1961 by Theodore Mendez was auctioned at Bonhams in London in December 2020. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 1,500.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 1,530.00 (€ 1,709.15). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Theodore Mendez - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Grey Composition, which sold at auction in December 2014 for GBP 4,375.00 (€ 5,632.08).
