In July 2008 Sothebys in London held the auction 20th Century British Art, which included the work Construction 1963 by Anthony Hill. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 8,750.00 (€ 11,116.97), 25% above the upper estimate. Admittedly, works by Anthony Hill have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Relief Construction, August - September 1959 in November 2018 with an auction result of GBP 50,000.00 (€ 56,398.48).

Im Juli 2008 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion 20th Century British Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Construction 1963 von Anthony Hill zur Versteigerung kam.
