A top price for Margaret Mellis - as previously expected
The work Scarlet Undercurrent by Margaret Mellis was auctioned at Sothebys in London in June 2017. The price achieved of GBP 25,000.00 (€ 28,470.34) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 20,000.00 – 30,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Scarlet Undercurrent is the most expensive artwork by Margaret Mellis that we have observed at auctions so far.
