Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Hunter with a strange figure by Twins Seven-Seven was auctioned at Bonhams in July this year. The price achieved of EUR 2,560.00 was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as EUR 2,000.00 – 3,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Twins Seven-Seven - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Ram Masquerade, which sold at auction in March last year for GBP 5,670.00 (€ 6,722.42).
