Upper estimate price exceeded by 39 %.
The work Yellow Bend by Thomas Downing was sold in the Post-War & Contemporary Art auction at Bonhams in New York in May last year. It achieved a price of USD 69,675.00 (€ 64,928.71), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 39%. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Thomas Downing - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Blue Tender, which sold at auction in May 2019 for USD 200,000.00 (€ 179,388.29).
