This artwork by Winston Branch achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in March last year. In the Post-War and Contemporary Art Day Sale auction, the work When I need my Father's Eyes sold for GBP 126,000.00 (€ 149,387.18) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 60,000.00. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Winston Branch; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot The Magic is in You sold at auction in October this year with the realized price of GBP 239,400.00 (€ 274,897.71).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
