Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Head by Yusuf Grillo was auctioned at Bonhams in Edinburgh in October this year. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 180,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 190,900.00 (€ 219,206.24). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Yusuf Grillo - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Seventh Knot, 1969 (Framed), which sold at auction in March this year for GBP 403,500.00 (€ 459,059.19).
