Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Michaël Borremans achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in London in September 2017. In the Afternoon Sale auction, the work Two sold for GBP 872,750.00 (€ 990,146.07) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 300,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Michaël Borremans - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Girl With Duck, which sold at auction in October 2015 for GBP 2,045,000.00 (€ 2,860,444.21).
