In the Blazing a TrailModern British Women auction, the work Madonna sold for GBP 15,300.00 (€ 17,412.88) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 8,000.00. Admittedly, works by Ithell Colquhoun have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Sunflower in September this year with an auction result of GBP 79,140.00 (€ 79,140.00).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 91 % übertroffen

Dieses Kunstwerk von Ithell Colquhoun erzielte im September letzten Jahres bei Bonhams in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis.
