Upper estimate price exceeded by 44 %.
In April 2007 Christies in London held the auction British Printmaking, which included the work Poet's House by Anthony Gross. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 720.00 (€ 1,054.17), 44% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Anthony Gross achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work A large collection of etchings, circa 1955 to 1976, on wove and laid paper, each signed and titled in pencil, each with full margins, in varying conditions, most in excellent overall condition in June 2008 with an auction result of GBP 13,750.00 (€ 17,380.46).

Im April 2007 führte Christies in London die Auktion British Printmaking durch, in der auch die Arbeit Poet's House von Anthony Gross zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 720,00 (€ 1.054,17) und damit 44% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Anthony Gross erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit A large collection of etchings, circa 1955 to 1976, on wove and laid paper, each signed and titled in pencil, each with full margins, in varying conditions, most in excellent overall condition im Juni 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 13.750,00 (€ 17.380,46).
