Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Summer Suit by Thornton Willis was sold in the New Now auction at Phillips in London in July 2021. The price achieved of GBP 6,300.00 (€ 7,388.06) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 5,000.00 – 7,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Thornton Willis - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Full House, which sold at auction in July 2014 for USD 27,500.00 (€ 20,537.71).
