The work Boy on a Wall by John Craxton was sold in the Modern British Art Evening Sale auction at Christies in London in June 2019. It achieved a price of GBP 150,000.00 (€ 168,622.25), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 50%. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by John Craxton - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Summer Triptych (Boy on Wall, Girl on the Seashore, Goat and Tree), which sold at auction in June this year for GBP 343,300.00 (€ 399,542.10).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 50 % übertroffen
