Auction result well in line with expectations
The work The Height of the Vulgar Commonplace by Ged Quinn was auctioned at Christies in London in February 2015. The price achieved of GBP 50,000.00 (€ 68,942.57) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 40,000.00 – 60,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Ged Quinn - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Gone to Yours, which sold at auction in February 2011 for GBP 193,250.00 (€ 227,632.33).
