Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Cyril Power achieved an unexpectedly high price at Bonhams in London in December this year. In the The Age of SpeedThe Grosvenor School and the Avant-garde auction, the work The Sunshine Roof sold for GBP 70,250.00 (€ 80,925.31) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 35,000.00. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Cyril Power; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Whence & Whither? (C. Cep 14) sold at auction in March 2015 with the realized price of GBP 68,750.00 (€ 95,050.51).
