Upper estimate price exceeded by 38 %.
The work Whirlwind, 1968 by Wilhelmina Barns-Graham was auctioned at Bonhams in London in February 2021. It achieved a price of GBP 8,287.50 (€ 9,558.07), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 38%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Wilhelmina Barns-Graham achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Glacier (Bone) in November 2016 with an auction result of GBP 106,250.00 (€ 125,364.55).
