Here, the upper estimate of GBP 25,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 28,680.00 (€ 41,170.56). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Byam Shaw achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Queen of Hearts in December 2020 with an auction result of GBP 790,500.00 (€ 883,058.95).
