Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Riders by Geoffrey Key was sold in the Modern British and Irish Art auction at Bonhams in London in July 2021. The price achieved of GBP 5,100.00 (€ 5,980.81) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 4,000.00 – 6,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Geoffrey Key - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Piccadilly, Manchester, which sold at auction in March 2012 for GBP 12,500.00 (€ 14,985.19).
