Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Portrait of Sir David Webster by David Hockney was auctioned at Christies in London in October 2020. The price achieved of GBP 12,865,000.00 (€ 14,285,485.10) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 11,000,000.00 – 18,000,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by David Hockney - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Nichols Canyon, which sold at auction in December 2020 for USD 41,067,500.00 (€ 33,579,313.16).
