Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Doors of Glass by David Jones was sold in the The Delighted Eye: Works from the Collection of Allen and Beryl Freer auction at Christies in London in January 2020. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 30,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 32,500.00 (€ 38,658.39). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by David Jones - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Crucifixion, which sold at auction in November 2016 for GBP 93,750.00 (€ 110,615.78).
